Skate Deck Poster Design Continued..

The skateboard brand "Airaca" has a new line of skateboard designs. These designs are in the predator theme with one predator overtaking their prey.  In this poster it represents the authorities (the predator: the owl)overthrowing the skaters (the prey, the snake) BUT then in the poster the skaters (the snake) is coming back and destroying them!!!!! This poster is meant to be bought by the consumer to post on their walls at home etc...

FINAL POSTER: decided on the green snake for the final as it  gives a good contrast
with the background colours. I made sure to have some blue in the background so
that it ties in with the colour of the snake on the skateboard. 

Added a textured background from the photos taken of the skateboard

 Final Product 

For the Front Cover of the menu I used my soya sauce painting of the Bonsai tree.  The illustrations I made were influenced by Shigeo Fukuda and WW2 propaganda posters by imitating the minimalist and graphic styles.

Art Direction

I researched art by Shigeo Fukuda and WW2 propaganda posters to help with inspiration for the "Hai Menu" assignment. Here is what I found:

Painting in Photoshop - DMA

These are just experiments with painting in photoshop using a graphic tablet. We had to take a black and white drawing and paint it it using photoshop. The "robocop" one I did in class and was the first time I used a graphic tablet! The "superman" one is also a drawing found from the internet.  Soon I will paint one of my own drawings!
