Movie Poster

So for the movie poster I thought I'd try and develop something from an old fake trailer I made out of little clips from videos I made during a camping trip. The idea was to make a documentary/ drama looking poster for that trailer. Since the clips consisted of me looking straight into the camera it has a completely documentary feel. For the poster though I didn't want to use my face, but what I thought I'd do was work off the title of the trailer, which was Old Road Story. From that I thought I'd work off the words "road" and "story". So I looked for some existing posters to see what most documentary or drama posters look like.

I liked this one for the super imposed texture. This is something I want to do except without a face and with a super imposed letter which will be made transparent to leave faint text and a oldish feel since the paper is tea stained as seen below.

Very happy with my tea stained paper. I wrote on it first so that the ink ran. A second poster I found had a custom looking logotype which I quite liked. It looked more hand written than anything that would be a default font. So I made my own custom logotype by writing out the title on paper and then scanning it and converting into vector.

This is my text

Putting altogether I think what im going to do is take a photo of a long street (as the road), super impose the letter to make it look old and to add an underlying theme of a story, and then on top is my logotype along with some fake credits. I may have to remake the logotype so that its thicker and easier to read.

Fabric Patterns

In class we've been working on creating a pattern out of a custom swatch list that we also made. I had missed the class that had first covered using letters and making them into vector paths, so when we started to make our patterns I found it slightly difficult.

The above is my original pattern. I only used to colors which arent actually from my custom swatches. The design is a T that has been made into vecotr paths and then laid onto another T. I wasnt really happy with this so when I finally made my own swatches I played around more with different colors.

This is the second version. Notice the different more palettable colors and the vertical lines. The lines were made with the AI blend tool. In my opinion a big step up, although not the finsihed product.

This is the final product. We were made to open it in photoshop and play around with layers and the eraser tool.

T Shirt Logo Design final

So Ive finished p the front of the shirt.

Now preferably when I put it on the shirt the white letters wont be outlined although i dont know if that is yet possible. This also means Ill have to have it printed on a light grey or colored shirt since the letters wont be visible otherwise.As for the skateboard ont he back, I dont know if that is possible either, but ill update this post if/ when i do it.

T shirt, STREET SHARKS

So just focusing on the the outline of the shark that will be the main image for the shirt. There will also be some stylized text using simple shapes that spell out "Street Sharks" and if possible have a simple image of a skate board on the back. Simple as in a horizontal line with slightly curved ends and then two circles under it as wheels.

You can slightly see the early sketch of the "Street Sharks" which consists right now of triangles and half circles.

I know its a simple design, but I feel like lots of good shirts utilize simple designs and end up still being pretty popular.

Character Final; PI Kricket

So this is the final for P.I. Kricket. As I have been told it could use more detail in the buildings and also the shadows are a little off. Other than that I think it turned out pretty well.
