Event Poster!

We have been working on our next project, the event poster. To start things off, we took pictures of texture then upload them. We had to think of an event we wanted to advertise. I did Fearfest since halloween is near. I drew a scary girl screming her head off and scanned it. I put a scratched table texture as the background of the poster and put the drawing over the texture. Line drawings look good over textured beckgrounds. I made the background dark and inverted the drawing to make it stand out. I downloaded a text from deviantart.com that goes with the scary theme. That is where I am at now. I still need to work on the text and possibly adding blood splatter to the poster.

Alternative Representation

For the Alternative Representation project, the class was to come up with a design and take pictures of the design represented through different media. We could use any type of material like cut paper to hair from a drain. I chose to do the knight from chess. I used tape, chess pieces, hershey's kisses, fog, a leaf, hair, oatmeal, my dog, eggs, and spray paint. After we were done taking pictures we had to edit them on photoshop and we were also allowed to photo manipulate 2 of the pictures. Then we had to pick 2 and make an advertisement out of them. This project was fun, playing with photoshop and forming things into the shape of a knight.
