Exercise 4
I Can Be Your Hero
Description
Design three hero sections for a website about the Emmy Awards. Each hero section should be unique in layout but can reuse type, colors, and images. Each hero section should include the following content:
- Headline - Television’s Biggest Night
- Subhead - The Emmy Awards celebrate the shows, performers, and creators that shape the world of television.
- Button – See the Winners
- Image – Each design should include an image (or images)
The designs should not use any of the Emmy Awards branding and must use a column structure. You do not need to add a header or any of the other content that might be on the page, you are just designing the hero section.
