M4 CP - Book Cover Design (Part 2)

  M4 CP - Book Cover Design (Part 2) Pinocchio Cover I love Pinocchio and this book is just such a classic. I thought it would be fun to redesign the cover since my little brother was reading the book for school. On the cover we have Pinocchio and everyone's favorite cricket, Jiminy Cricket. I took a used a Pinocchio picture I found on the web and layer masked it so only the cricket and Pinocchio was visible. I had also adjusted the hue and saturation on the image to give a nicer, cleaner look to it. I also chose the Trajan Color font to make the cover feel more authentic. On the spine I have a picture of Pinocchio's head which I got from the front and just finished layer masking. I also kept the same font for the text and I have the Walt Disney logo to make it feel like it's a real book cover. Now I admit the back does seem kind of bare. I used the rectangle tool to make a box for the text to go into which has the same font. I then have the price of the book and the barcod...

M3 CP - Awareness Poster (Part 2) Drugs, the People Killer

  M3 CP - Awareness Poster (Part 2) "Drugs, the People Killer" For this awareness poster I wanted to make it nice and simple for people to understand. Everyone knows the bio hazard symbol and if you see one of those suckers, you best stay away. To link the symbol to drugs I put a smoking cigarette through the symbol so the reader understands the connection. I also made the background black and the font white so it would stand out more, really make it pop. Abusing drugs is never good for anyone and you don't even need to be the one abusing drugs to be affected. Many people die every year from drug overdoses and I think that it was really important to make this issue crystal clear.                                                     Here are the images I used.

  M3 CP - Awareness Poster (Part 1) Drugs, the People Killer For this poster design I decided to put all my attention and effort into the dangers of drug abuse. becoming dependent on these horrible drugs such as weed to feel good is addiction. Addiction is a disease and we need to some how prevent terrible statistics such as over 70,000 people die in the US every year due to drug overdoses. Drug abuse affects everyone and not just the addicted. they need to understand that people such as their family and friends will be affected by their actions and heartbroken.  Sketch 1 For this sketch I wanted to show how bad addiction is. Addiction is a disease. Once your hooked being able to stop without assistance is nearly impossible. I wanted to really get that point across by shoving a cigarette into the infection/biohazard symbol.   Sketch 2 For this sketch I wanted to show that drug abuse does not just affect the person addicted, but everyone around them. Drug abuse is no ...
