Coming of Age Poster Draft

3 comments:

  1. Miach I really like your poster because it is very creative and well done. I like the idea of the sprout and the tree with the pictures in the leaves. I think that it portrays your friends, family, and interests that you have accumalated through the years. I also really like the effect you've done with the text in the poster. All in all well done, and I can't find anything bad to say about it.

  2. Hi Micah,
    Nice job on your poster. I especialy like the way you made the "sprout" stand out from the background. Be sure to post your "creative process" comment ... would like to see what you say about your own process :)

  3. Creative Process :
    Its was very hard to decide what to do, because i wanted it to effective but artistic.

    So i chose nature-
    The background is a sky blue & i manually made the realistic clouds and used my pre-downloaded cloud brush.

    Then i found a tree with no leaves and cut it out of its background, then went to the layer editor and changed it from normal to linear dodge, to give it a 'in the future' look from its sprout.

    After that, i created a leaf cut-out brush and look a bunch of my favorite pictures and arranged them like a collage to represent 'my previous and present life'

    And for the sprout i used the magic erase tool to make life easier, since the background was already white. Then looked for dirt/soil to make ground. Put them together to look real and spiced it up with some pre-downloaded 'floral' brushes to represent growth.

    Then with the text, i used just a basic Times New Roman and a pre-downloaded font called Soopafresh. Took both fonts and stroked them in black and dropped back the shadow and for the word 'sprout', i made a grass pattern to pattern overlay in blending options. and 'walla!' there you have it (:
