the poster


this is my poster of my third assignment of this trimester

the process.

Now is the time to show I work on my poster is adobe illustrator..

first i show the grid and the ruler so that i can draw my things appropriately.then I use the gradient to colour the background of my poster using the colour of orange to yellow then to white to show the sun shines and the sky....i name this layer as the sky....

after doing that,I use ellipse tool to draw the sun shine path,I select the part where I want them to be light and adjust the opacity of the colour of the parts so as to show the sun shines brightly from the centre.




After that,I create a new layer named perspective path and I draw a circle at the centre as the sun and I uncoloured the outline of it so that it is more natural.then I draw a horizontal line at the centre to show where the land is and also the sky,I pick the colour of dark brown as the land.



then under the same layer,i draw another path to show the walk way and i choose the texture of mmosaic tiles to show t
he roughness of the floor. I choose the colour of light brown for the land to show the light source and also to differentiate the walk way and the ground.



next is the trees along the pathway..I first place the tree from the assignment 2 to assignment 3,then I duplicate it and transform it to smaller trees to show the distance perspective.then i group it one by one.

this is what it looks like


after that, I draw a few lines on the walkway as the shadow of the trees using brushes(charcoal pencil-rough)as like the picture on top.


Finally, is the wording...I first use the type tool and I type the words:"green for living &future".Then I size of every words to make it a little different but yet simple..i choose the font under the name called century gothic-regular for the word green.




for the other words:for living &future,I use the font of stencil std bold and i change the

colour to blue and the outline of the word"for" to orange...




this is the final outcome....

sketches

After searching pictures,I start to draw my idea out and edit a little bit through the references I have found..
The first picture is using my subject(tree)and duplicate it according to distance to show the perspective of the land with trees and the warm sky that shows shinny, fresh day....more attractive though as it also shows the future of the earth as more trees are planted around us....cool.

I did not need to do much sketch this time as my first sketch was approved by my tutorial and so i just use it. It also save a lot of time.

Assignment 3-research

Hello....here comes the assignment 3 which is making a poster of your area using your subject illustrated in assignment 2.This is the task i have to complete for assignment 3

So, as usual,i need to search for pictures of posters in order to do my assignment.These are the pictures I found,not much but is enough as I have my idea earlier...


I like the word font of the posters.Is simple, easy to read and attractive...

Final !!!!!!!



Final output of assignment 2!!!!!


The process

First, as usual I took a picture of my sketch and then I print screen to paste it in paint and save it,import it to illustrator.



Then I make this layer as a template,then i show ruler as well as grid to help me in giving a more appropriate drawing.
After that,I make another layer called the tree trunk




and then the rocks which is the bottom part of the picture.how do I draw the trunk and those sticks? under brushes,I choose artistic( artistic charcoal pencil) with the stroke of 1pt and the thickness that I like.and I put gradient of dark brown to light brown for the trunk that I have selected to show the light source.

The other layer-rocks,simple,I use the same brush tool,same gradient colour and I draw the outline.And the on top is what it becomes...After that, I draw a few lines with the same brush tool on this layer,meaning on the rocks to show the rough surface of rocks.


Next,another layer named leaves.In this layer, I make another sub-layer called the dark green.Using the brush tool with the Artistic charcoal pencil that I have chosen for the trunk and rocks,I then select the dark green colour that I would like to use to draw the leaves.




this is what it looks like.

Then another sub-layer-the grass green, using the same brush of the same type(artistic charcoal pencil).Lighter green is used this time.


another sublayer again-green.Same technique...


another sublayer again-light green



Next,another sublayer as well-highlight.using a light yellow and white to show the toning of the leaves and also the light source.

This is the final out look of the tree.

Next, I make another layer called the sky where I used the gradient with the toning of orange to yellow and to white as the sunlight.This is also the background of the picture.



After that, I use the flare tool
to draw the effect of sunshine....looks better this time.



Then, make another layer named field as the ground of the scenery.



I draw a line and I use gradient of the toning of colour of green to yellow as the field of grasses.

then, I use brushes of the type called artistic charcoal pencil to draw trees behind and at further distance from near.


Next is drawing the house using pen tool and apply colour from the colour guide.


After that, I draw the rocks like mountain behind the trees and the house using pen tool. choose the colour of orange and make a toning to yellow colour and make a texture of canvas to show the rough surface of the mountain.I choose that under effect and the light source is from top.





The toning is the reflection of the sunlight when sun sets.same goes to the other mountain behind it. Is just the colour of toning is yellow to white using gradient


this is the final picture of my assignment 2.


sketch 2

Using the tree I have drawn, I can now illustrate the background of my picture.And these are what I have come out with:





but I still don't know how can I make it more interesting....So I searched for more pictures as a reference on how can I improve my picture to be better



After getting more references,i could now have some idea on how I want to do for my picture.I will take the idea of sunshine and a warm sunset colour,like the second and third picture.
