Brochure final

In the final I resolved multipule issues composionally but i believe I achieved a lot from the comp as far as bringing the piece more together. Though I believe I could have gone farther with the illustrations I was very pleased compositionally how the piece worked out.  

Brochure comp

From the sketches I then took them into photoshop  and began working out the issues like too many colors and very little unity throughout the piece. I also had yet to add the photo that was required for the piece at this point.

Brochure sketch

For my five fold Brochure I decided to go with a sci-fi war propaganda theme.

Rolling Stones ad final

I then took the image and gave it more of a vintage look which was what I was planing on being the focus of the clothes store. To play along well with the photo I made the header take a vintage look as well and took a sample of the long grass and put it in the header to send it to the next level. I was over all very pleased with the outcome. Having no real photography training this was an adventure for me and as stated earlier am very pleased with the results.

Rolling Stones ad photo

Once I got my sketch I went out and did a photo shoot. unfortunately there was no wind so i didn't get the wind effect I was hoping for but still managed to get a good shot for the image in my head. Special thanks for the model being so cooperative =)

Rolling Stones ad thumb nail

For the Rolling Stones ad I wanted to try and dod something I wouldn't normally do so I decided to make it clothes store ad. I ended up deciding on this sketch because it had a sorta nice hourglass style composition to it (which is a style I seem to be drawn to) and the very one on one human to human element it had.

Anti smoking poster final

And here is the finished project, overall I couldn't be much happier the it. I had a blast with illustrating the smoke skull and was very pleased with the overall composition of the piece. one of the things I definitely struggled with this piece was when erasing the background of the face from the original photo I ended up having to take out a lot of her hair. In doing this it gave me the chance to work some photoshop skills and retouch up her face and repaint the hair. I believe I definitely could have touched up the face more but as stated earlier I'm overall very happy with how the poster came out.
