Addressing questions 1, 2, and 5:
The two themes I chose for this project were the movie poster and the band flyer. I chose these two because I used to be in a band, and I had a few old pictures of it which I could easily make into a poster or two. As for the movie, well…who DOESN’T want to be in a kick-ass movie?
The tools I used the most extensively were the magic wand and the lasso. Both of these were crucial in the making of the poster, in order to properly crop my own shadow away from my friend Mikes, so it would look a little less awkward, and a little more kick-ass. Though it was challenging, I found it to be a very good learning experience- I’ve always wanted to be skilled with photoshop, and what better way to achieve it than with homework that forces it? It was interesting using the writing pad, as this was the most effective way to use the lasso in order to effectively crop myself.
I wanted my pictures to impress the audience with a little feature I like to call…awesome subtlety- designs very simplistic, yet simplistic in an impressive way. I think it’s actually difficult to verbally describe it, however I come across a lot of situations like that. I remember writing a poem about the intricacy of subtlety, and the fact that sometimes more complex things can be more simplistic, and vice versa (obviously). Though maybe it’s not obvious- maybe you think I’m weird, but that’s fine too.
A damn shame- I was pressed for time, so I couldn't figure out how to insert the steeltongs credit font at the bottom. I might update this later with steeltongs pic.
