Final Graphic Design Project

For my poster I decided to create a multi-view platform which makes readers think they are looking at the same thing just from different angles. This poster encompasses my subject, which is fishing.

I thought of the idea of going for the same look just different views when I saw the picture of the boy and his dog on Flickr. The two fish that are being caught are the same types of fish that are caught here in eastern Washington. My process started with the panoramic picture on top, which I took. I them found the fish pictures and the boy and dog picture on Flickr.

On Adobe, I used the hue/saturation tool to make the poster more vibrant. Also, the text feature came in handy as I listed the title and came up with a creative font. Cropping the image was still a challenge for me, and I still wasn’t able to figure out how to blend everything together.

The feedback I received helped a lot. The biggest thing I found that needed work was the title. I ended up changing the coloring and the font to make it more artistic.

Draft Graphic Design Project

September 12, 2019 / nickoldham11 / 4 Comments

Idea and Inspiration: For this project I decided to make a photo collage with the three photos I used in my Image Collection. The two bigger pictures is how I look and what I see when I fish, and the third picture is what I’m hoping to be catching when I’m fishing. All these photos relate to my topic of Fishing in Eastern Washington.

Design Process: This design inspired from myself wanting to incorporate three different perspectives: What I look like, what I see, and what I am trying to catch. I was also inspired from an example project that I saw in the instructions. The process of coming up with my design was I first found two pictures on Flickr and one of my own to use. Next, I came up with the idea of going the three perspectives from one of the example projects. Next, I used Photoshop to edit my design based on what I wanted incorporated into it.

Technical Detail: For my project, I used two free-to-use photos off of Flickr.com. Those two photos where the boy laying on his dog and the picture of the salmon. The panoramic photo of the Snake River was a picture I took. On Adobe Photoshop, I included features like text, magnetic lasso, hue/saturation alters, image cropping, and grouping different layers. A problem I found was that I was trying to blend where the panoramic picture and boy laying on dog picture meet. I struggled to figure it out, so I ended up just cropping the pictures so the ends of them met. I do not have any tips for anyone trying to do the same thing because I haven’t figured out how to, but I am going to work on figuring it out.
