I'm going to work to make the type on the poster side stand out more.
I was a bit intimidate by the airbrush and upon hearing we had to do a fruit I was worried. But I'm actually really excited that my strawberry came out this well. I used one square piece of frisket and cut various shapes from the strawberry out of it. I went in afterwards and drew the yellow seeds with colored pencil. I worked from dark to light for the most part and airbrushed the background first.
So I googled Lisa Frank to find a cheesy, colorful image to work with. I found one of penguins hugging so I made a marker comp of that. I like this one because of all the crazy colors. I think airbrushing this will definitely be hard, but it will be interesting to try. Who knows, it might be good...
From this comp I'll move forward onto the final art. For the final piece I'm going to make the boxes more dominant in the background. I want to try to do this on watercolor paper and see what kind of colors I can get. I will probably use some black line art as well. I'm soooo excited this is due on Monday!
I'm happy with the way it came out. I think the black lines and the visible paint strokes go with the 'back-alley' scene and the cartoon-like feel. The colors turned out pretty close to the way I painted them. I'm glad I chose to use watercolor on this assignment. I think it gave me more room to mix colors.
This direct mailer folds in half and then into three panels. The illustration I'm using is by Brian Raszka. His illustration deals with a montage of imagery so for the information side of the piece I took parts from the original illustration and incorporated them into the text.
