Social Awareness Poster

Description: To make this poster I did two tutorials, then created the individual elements of my poster (the apple, the branch and the text,) and lastly played around and put them together to create my final product.

Tutorials: See previous blog post

Images:
1.This first image is the branch that I cartoon-ized
 2.  This second image is the globe I used as the basis for my apple

Final: I chose my message to be "Good planets are hard to find, don't blow it" because I think the going green message is important. I put the globe as an apple on a tree because when apples too old or damaged, they fall off their trees.
I learned how to:

  • Use the warp tool
  • Apply gaussian blur
  • Use a combination of blurs and opacity to create an image
  • cartoon an image
  • Use the brush palette
Overall I am pleased with my final product. I like the colors and am especially proud of my apple globe.
