Iron Man Textures

James Ellison, a classmate who is a wizard with Illustrator was kind enough to give me a short tutorial this morning, showing how to add depth to vectorised images. The top example shown here was made using the methods he taught me. The second example was developed through my own experimentation with the gradient tool. Previously, my Illustrator skills were very basic, but from what I have learned from these experiments, I will be able to add more depth and texture to my upcoming work.

A Clockwork Captain

This is a vector image based on David Pelham's famous cover to the novel 'A Clockwork Orange.'

Hawkeye Posters

Here are the first images I created for Jeremy Renner's character Hawkeye. The character is a vector drawing, with a large target symbol drawn into the background. The text is a downloaded font based on The Avengers official logo and is not final.

Iron Man Vectors

Here are my experimentations with Robert Downey Jr's character Iron Man. I did a simple vector outline of the actor's face, then made simple shapes to represent the armour, facial features and hair. The idea was to represent the character without drawing a detailed face, with other elements helping to make the character recognisable. I also did a vector drawing of the character's trademark helmet. I also added metal textured images to help give the image a bit more depth as an experiment.

Captain America Vectors

Here are some of my earliest experiments with vector shapes, showing Chris Evans as Captain America. I have added several effects to each one to experiment with textures and shapes. I have added drop shadows and pointillism to the final two examples.

Project Two

So for my second (and final!) project, I have decided to heavily adapt the little white lies brief. I am going to create a series of posters based on the characters from the upcoming ensemble film 'The Avengers.'

Placement

Here are some examples of the advertisements altered and repositioned for various layouts and formats. This is to show how the campaign is versatile and can be used in a variety of different media. From print, screen and web, the posters can be incorporated easily into different formats for different purposes and markets.

Final Poster Design Series

So presented here are my final series of six poster designs. Here they are shown in their intended landscape billboard formats. I tried to include a variety of collages from both social and educational aspects of students' lives, to cover a wide range of audience tastes and senses of humour. The books and post-its are part of the more formal, informative side, the sports gear and rubbish from a night out are more social and the pocket items can relate to a variety of people.

Panoramic View

This is just an experiment with my new panoramic camera view of my room. Just testing!

Schedule

OK so I have been away from this blog for quite a while now, was busy submitting the first project and getting my stuff together for my second project. So here is my schedule for the entire semester. A little late, but I kept forgetting to upload this. Here it is, in its glorious 1950s style!
