exit poster update



So you've probably noticed that the picture above looks a little different from the previous post. I decided to rework the image to give it more of a simplistic look, since I didn't want to overwhelm the text information.

But there's also another issue that I'm still facing: it's printing super-dark. I've found a good resource with information about this at Dani Jones' Page, and I've lightened the image quite a bit as a result. I also changed the font to something a bit more whimsical and fun, since it's (hopefully?) going to be hanging up all over school.

exit poster work in progress!


Hey everyone! I'm still getting the hang of Blogger at the moment, so if these posts are formatted oddly, never fear! I'll get the hang of it eventually. In the meantime, here's a WIP of a project I'm working on- it's a poster for our school's exit portfolio show, where all of the associate degree students get to show off their work. I would say it's about half (?) done at the moment; there's some serious blending that needs to get done on those figures, and the outline as well. When the rendering is done, I'm going to add the text information in the center with InDesign.

I did a test print, and it also looks like I'm going to have to lighten it as well.

P.S. Does that girl look just a little too familiar? I did a couple of other poses in the sketch, but she just seemed to work so well again here!
