Propaganda Poster

      Of my 3 sketches the last one I figured had the strongest and clearest  argument regarding how pineapple does not belong on pizza. I began with a black background and added grain from the effects gallery  I tested the spiral effect and wasn't satisfied with the results... I tried again, this time with thicker lines and more of a gradient and thought that it resembled pizza colors in a way, I also added texture over it. To cover the hole I added a texturized circle with a shadow behind To add some more geometric shapes and to guide the eye along the whole piece I decided to add lighter shaded squares and rectangles for text and images. I also added a shadow beneath them as well I downlaoded some constructivist style fonts and used them to try and get my point across, adding texture to them as well. I then added the images and applied the screen printing effect through the effects gallery  To further convey my message I applied an X over the pineapple t...

Logos

Image
I first began with my 5 sketches and after going over them in class I decided to to pick the first 3 and revise the 3rd one the most To begin my "Holy Cow" logo for a frozen yogurt/ice cream establishment I created a sort of snout for the cow and added a gradient and highlight I then drew the tongue with the pen tool and added another gradient and highlights I then added ice cream to show the theme of the logo and the nostril I then typed and warped the name and began drawing cow spots  I then finished with this for my first logo I then started drawing and adding gradient to them as well to the lemon logo  I decided to make it a pink lemon so that the white font would pop, I also decided to add drop shadows to break up the pieces  I decided this spiked thing instead of seeds looked better with the text so I did that instead I then (using envelope distort) added each letter individually to complete my second logo For my third logo I once again used gradient to create a Tac...

Calligram

 This is my very first time using Illustrator so I am very excited! I began with my 3 sketches... Out of the 3 sketches I thought the first one was the most interesting This was the image I went off of for the sketch and calligram  Envelope distort was my go to for majority of this piece  I used that process for the facial features I even started building the face with primarily the Envelope Distort with Top image I also used gradient to show all the values in the face For the hair I tried a couple methods but ended up just sticking to Type on Path, I added more features as well continuing Envelope Distort and Gradient  Eventually it all came together, I even added some more bubbles to fill up the negative space.

Rotoscoping

   I filmed my 30 second clip with the help of my lovely assistant Erika who you might recognize from the Multiplicity project. She just improvd, it was pretty epic.  I then brought it into photoshop! Initially, it is the original image with drawings layered on top of Erika, and circling around her. I applied a filter around the outline which I then made disperse into another dimension basically... here you can see where it starts to disperse into the more detailed part of the rotoscope                          I then applied the filter all over the image and drew her movements frame by frame                                             I basically applied this process everywhere, changing the color every new camera angle to keep it entertaining I applied the same pr...
