M3 CP - Awareness Poster (Part 1)

  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.

The third front has a picture of a puppet on it to represent Pinocchio which will be faded into the background. On the Spine...

I searched up beautiful faces high resolution and I managed to find a great model. The picture was called "Black Beauty," and what a beauty indeed. She was the perfect model for this assignment. In this assignment I got to use the tool that has always had my back in every assignment I posted thus far, layer mask. I  used a lot of layer masks to cover up mistakes and areas I messed up in and for steps of the projects itself, it was truly amazing. To give it that nice blue skin color I had to paint over her face and blend it in with her skin. I used the layer mask to remove the color from the eyes. I tried to make any highlights stand out on her face. Next I  focused my efforts on the eyes and made t...
