SUDS Poster

For this project we were supposed to create a poster for a play called SUDS, which in a nutshell was about a car wash and a reporter coming there to give someone a chance at fame. So right off the bat I knew I wanted to have a person holding a squeegee. I used a stock photo to create a silhouette made the squeegee the opposite color so it stood out. In the stock photo the person was leaning on a bar so I thought it would be a good idea to make it look like the person was leaning on some play information on the poster. I used a bunch of photoshop brushes for the background. In the top I put some grundgy checkerboard and little scribbles to show the not as glamorous start out these people would have. Then at the bottom the curvy arrows look almost like waves and to show direction to the city buildings all to show that the person the reporter chooses if off to fame. To tie these two things together I put bubbles to symbolize the car wash itself.

CD Cover

For my CD cover I chose to use a pretend band I made up, Eternal Eclipse. Because of the name I decided to give it a space theme. I took 3 stock photos, one of a moon, one of a crystal orb and another of a sundial face and manipulated them to look like a moon eclipsing the sun. For the background I chose another 3 stock photos, each of different nebulas, and used different filters and brought them together. For the font I was looking for an old typewriter look, and managed to find a font based off of old world war 2 german typewriters which looked exactly like what I was looking for. I changed the color of the capital E just to make it stand out a little more then the other letters. Finally I took a copy of the font layer and motion blurred it.
