Finalized Design

This is my finished final design project. Comparing this version of the poster to my previous version, obvious differences in color, effects, and layering become apparent and show how my abilities in Photoshop have advanced since I created the draft of my design. The first iteration of my project lacked a solid use of Photoshop’s tools and color. Through this newer take on my poster, I hope to have mended these failures and added a certain flair and distinctiveness.

               Again, my first image chosen is the tablet I use for digital painting and drawing. My secondary take on this image was to change the colors to make it stand out greater, and for the words on the tablet to hold a greater impact than they had before. In order to achieve these goals, I used the Hue/Saturation bars to turn the tablet from a dull gray, to a lively blue. After this, I shifted the wording to an orange from the white it was because it would fit the effects I added and works with the blue of the tablet. I also made sure to change the form of the wording as well, giving it a hard-to-see pinch-curved look.

               The second image, my file browser, was not changed in too many ways. The only difference seen, is a difference in color, most likely due to the hue/saturation layer above it.

               The last image, a picture of my desk and its contents was changed to a purple shade simply to still be visible yet be darker than the other two images and the effects on top. I used the Color tool to do this.

               In addition to the color and layer changes I made to the images, I also drew my own effects in the form of lines with warm colors and small sparkles shooting out of them. I made these in hopes of making the poster more dynamic or interesting to look at, rather than just a tablet with odd colors.
