Covid-10 Final Colour Comp

For this final step in the COVID-19 Poster was to add colour! The way I set up my previous file was so that all the greyscale values were on a separate layer then I went back into the PSD file, and created a new layer to have all my colour on this layer! I wanted to use some of the Wet Media brushes that I recently downloaded to give the overall look a more painterly feel.

I wanted to use orange and blue because they're complimentary colours for each other and I tried to give the background a slight gradient feel that has an etching effect on it. Overall I enjoyed this project a lot hope we can all flatten the curve!

Toronto Police Colour Comp

Image
For this part of the assignment, I started by getting different elements from each of my thumbnails and combining them together to create more diversity! I started by copying all the different woman I wanted to use in this picture and just arranging them in greyscale where and what size I want everyone to be! After I was happy with the layout I played with some typography that I liked and placed that accordingly as well. I then proceeded to add colour staying in the theme of blues and pop colour of yellow. Which are colours I associate police workers with. After adding the colours I know I needed to have something conceptual and fun and I thought adding a background of roads of different effectiveness and opacities would be a good way to give this design piece something interesting! At this point I can start to see the piece coming together, but I know I should definitely play around with the background more and I did by placing them different ways and different effectiv

Grim Reaper - Storyboard Comps

Image
For this second part of the assignment, we were asked to create larger comprehensive sketches of our thumbnails. I started with some line art to get placement correct.  This sketch the grim reaper is playing his radio to get music playing in the background while he is about to enjoy his bubble bath. After I was happy with the linework I then decided to add in colour, furthermore with some subtle hilites and shadows. This is my second sketch of the grim reaper filling the bath up with water, I drew out everything first made sure I was happy with it. After I was content with the linework part I proceed to add colour and again hilites and shadows Moving onto my third comp sketch, I went with a close up shot of the bath being filled with bubbles. I then created the linework and made sure I was happy with that After being content with the linework I added colour and hilites as well as shadows Finally doing my last comp line drawing placing

Portraits

Image
This week we attempted to do our first portraits using our Wacom tablets, I used an older photo from my father of his mother, my nonna, Carmela. I had a lot of fun recreating this image and hope to only make my skills stronger and stronger moving forward! We started with picking a picture and creating just an outline of the image: After, we hid the image and added in background colour with some light tonal values: Continuing to add more and more tonal values At this point, I started to add more details such as a few major hilites as well as filling in the rest of the painting! Finally, I made my darks much darker and blended my hilites into the piece to give it a more realistic look and feel to the piece! Overall for my first attempt, I am happy with this portrait and only hope I can strengthen my skills as I continue my education and design career!
