The Final Piece
Self portrait inspiration
Propaganda inspiration piece
When given this assignment, I wanted to make a fun bandwagon propaganda poster that still held a message of something that people should think about more. I was able to find it when browsing images of myself and realized how many pictures I have wearing glasses. This became my inspiration for my poster. When doing the Self-Portrait portion of the assignment, I had a lot of difficulty when it came to my hair. The most difficult part was finding the texture that I thought was close to my image and still blended with the minimalistic idea I wanted. The self portrait portion took me about six hours to finish.
When it came down to the text and the actual poster, I wanted to do something fun and bright to highlight my message of wearing sunglasses to prevent damage to someone's eyes from the sun. I wanted bright orange and yellow colors for this. After the "text assignment" I knew I wanted to include some sort of image, in this case, of a sun. I found an image that I thought suited the picture, traced it and incorporated the words I wanted into the sun's image. This portion took me an hour, including brainstorming and research.
Vreanna, I love your work! It is impressive and shows that you know how to use Illustrator well. I know you mentioned that you struggled with the hair. That's my favorite part! It turned out lovely and detailed. When comparing it to your picture, it looks realistic! Nice job! Also, I love how the sunglasses allow the eyes to see you through like actual sunglasses. The little details truly matter, and you achieved all.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to make a few suggestions, I would say for the sun, consider making it larger and allowing it to be a little messier. As in make it illuminate, add some gradient to enable it to blend in with the background. Other than that, you did TERRIFIC!
