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

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...

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!

Black Mirror Storyboard- Nosedive Colour

Image
For this second half of the assignment, I was required to take these thumbnails to the next step! During the first black and white stage of the thumbnails, I had created a separate layer for line work and for greyscale shading! So that way I had saved myself a lot of redrawing to do going further into these steps! Essentially, the process was applied all the way through for each of the following thumbnails, go into the folder created for each thumbnail hide the greyscale shading layer then add a colour layer for that specific thumbnail. Like I said this technique was used for each individual thumbnail. Thumbnail 1 Thumbnail 2 Thumbnail 3 Thumbnail 4 Thumbnail 5 Thumbnail 6
