Cleveland Postcard Illustrator

| niebrzydowski.2

For this assignment we had to create a postcard and give it an aged look using illustrator and photoshop. I began by sourcing five images that I felt represented Cleveland well. Then we began to create the word Cleveland in illustrator to give it a classic postcard look. We then inserted the images into the word Cleveland. Finally I inserted the “Beware of Dogs” image as the background. The file was then inserted into photoshop and I used an image of a old piece of paper to give the postcard the same aged look. This took me two attempts but fiddling with the offset during the apply image phase allowed me to get the final product.

Photoshop Final Project

In my final photoshop project I incorporated multiple methods we used in photoshop with four images to create a scene. In this final project I did a face swap from the original image, I added Kanye Wests face to the man standing in the car, I also added “DUB” rims to the car. I also added another car to make the scene look like a convoy of DUB cars. To add realism to this added car I had to use some methods we did not learn in class, this included casting a shadow for the car. For everything added to the image I used the blur effect to sit better with the original background image. Everything that was not black and white was turned to it. Overall I just created this scene because Kanye West is rumored to be dropping an album soon and because the original image felt very political and politics in this day in age are joke. The main goal of my edits was to maintain the unity of the photo and try to maintain the realism and make it seem like the scene is possible.
