MOVIE POSTER

This was my movie poster that I created. I enjoyed working with the layers, opacity, layer masks, and typography of course. Although I would have preferred not having me in the picture, it would have worked better otherwise. Overall, this was a fun project, but fairly time comsuming.

Many From One

This was the assignment 'Many From One' where we had to take different cuts from one main high res picture and create a magazine article layout. I chose a great black and grey picture of a stage with instruments that i thought would work well. The only problem with this is that there are no colours to work with. So i took this as a challenge and chose red to accompany it in the background,. a gritty textured red that is dark enough so it is not distracting. The colours worked well together and complemented each other. I also downloaded drip and splatter brushes to add to that gritty, rock look. Overall, I think my final product turned out really well, and the elements I added like progression of size ( cut bottom left picture into 4 sections, large text progressivly got smaller). This is exactly the kind of work I want to get into in the future, and study at college, so I love having the opportunity to work with it this early on.

Table of Contents

This assignment was to create a table of contents for a self-made magazine. I created a magazine called 'MusicVibe' and I made it a 'Hip Hop edition' so I showed modern rappers, music, and things in music that would apply to today. I took the time to analyze and research a few things that pertained to what I was previewing, such as top stars of 2011, and previous rap artists of the 90s, but the majority of what i showed on this assingment is of my own knowledge of this genre, something that I like. I thought making something that i really like (music) would be easier to portray visually, since I have a large knowledge of the topic. I really enjoyed this assingment, so far it has been my favourite, and something I am definitely looking into for the future. I love layouts, and the combination of colours, and working with brushes, shading, and pictures of faces too.

Coupon

This assignment was to design a coupon for a company of some sort. The objective was to make the '25%off' the most visible, the biggest, and the focal point of the page. By doing this, you have to isolate it over some blank background colour, to make it more visible. I did this by creating the outline of the 25% off, and enlarging it so it covers a large portion of the page, and over a black background. I used a overlay of brown, to make all the colours similar, and i used the MONOCHROMATIC colour scheme (of mostly brownish colours). The ballet dancer is elegant, and the spotlight I created, shows the main focus of the add, as it is also circulated by smoke dancers.
