Moving on into Adobe Illustrator, we took a crack at making vintage-style postcards. Given the license to use any location real or fiction I decided to work with imagery from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The painting-like aesthetics and varied environments gave plenty of options for sourcing the photos that were overlaid on each letter. After all the pictures were set, the final touches were done in photoshop, including increasing saturation and overlaying a vintage paper screen tone to make the postcard look like it has aged.
I was surprised to find out that editing text was a multi step process. After setting the type, one needs to turn it into an object to manipulate. Overall the process had a less steep learning curve than Photoshop, but no longer having access to a layer viewer was an adjustment.
Overall I am very, very happy with the finished product and I have really enjoyed working with Illustrator.
