Project 4!


Here's my final image for the fourth project!
I used two images for the main part of the poster. The first was the picture of the powerplant. For this one, I made the sky red with color adjustments and darkned up portions of the towers to make them have a darker mood. I added several more inches to the canvas in black.
The second image was of a tree branch with several leaves and monkey balls ( those little spikey things on trees around here?) I adjusted the levels so the image was completely black, then selected the branch and inverted the colors so it was white.
I duplicated the image twice and transformed them so they looked slightly different, then arranged them in a way that I thought worked well. I also played with the opacities a little.

I made the text out of wire and scanned it in, then changed some of the letters into white or red for the bottom half of the poster [:
Overall I'm pretty happy with how things turned out! I'm not too sure how I like my text, but what's done is done. Hope you like!

I really love this poster. It was one of my favorites in the class. When you first told me about your idea I thought it was really creative, and you definitely executed it really well! I love the soft reddish-pink and the black. I especially like how there are black letters against the pink background and pink letters against the black background. The wire letters are really cool, too.
And on behalf of the environment, thanks for sending out such a thought-provoking and important message! :-D
