As a F.N.A.F fan I had to make a poster dedicated to the upcoming movie thanks to Blumhouse and the creator of this restaurant animatronic horror game, Scott Cawthon. 

I began with selection tooling/layer masking all of the famous characters, Chica, Foxy, Bonnie and Golden Freddy (Top left, Middle, Top Right, Center). I added a gradient to each to make it seem as though they are faded or in Golden Freddys' head as a thought. 

Next I used the pen tool to make a round shape for the eyes and used a lens blur to make the glow where their eyes should be. I put only five to not only represent the souls in each animatronic but also the theme of the game, surviving five nights. 

Next I found the background. I used the party tables and the stage commonly seen in gameplay to not only establish the place but to give it a "homie" feel, if you are to see the stage or even the tables faintly behind the characters, then you'll understand what you are looking at. Using the brush on low opacity for the layer mask to create the faint effect.

Lastly I put some static and used overlay to make it look old and as if your looking into the cameras like in gameplay. Then added the text of the title, a small sentence for reference to F.N.A.F themed music, and the Netflix logo. All put in static as well to compliment the poster. Finally I used the layer effects to create the neon glow for the Netflix logo. 

Not perfect, but certainly my most prized work thus far. 

With my environmental poster, I wanted to capture the focus of the information. To start, I began with the title, since the article is about Green Sea Turtles in Hawaii, I wanted to make part of the title in Hawaiian flower colors. Then I added the images I wanted to stand out and the background. 

I didn't want the images to take away from the article itself so I stuck to only two. Then I used the pen tool to trace around the circled image and added my text. 

Lastly, I put some more design in like the page number and indicator at the bottom, the "Environmental News" at the top so you know the content area, shadowing for the turtle in the middle for a 3D effect, and the dotted line down the middle to separate the text. 

Since the article and the style reminded me of a school textbook I put in a small turtle in the corner, some dots on either side of the content indicator, and used a wacky font to give it an "educational" vibe. 

This piece was a little bit harder to create. Seeing as though I have yet to see the amazing movie, it was hard to not spoil it for myself.

I started out with layer masking all of the characters. After placing them where I thought would be the most appealing I placed the background for surrounding area. Then I wanted my hero. Mario.

Of course with Browser taking center stage I didn't want to add someone else to the mix. It would become crowded and I only had so much space. So since I know that Mario merely stumbles into this world I decided to layer mask the pipe and Mario's hand with his hat from different images and mash it together to make it seem as though he's coming out the pipe. 

Next I puppet warped the hat and arm to make it look as though he's catching it, then filling in the "back" of the hat to make it full and so it doesn't look like I snatched it from his head. (Which I did)

I then clone stamped, drew and smuged the clouds to expand it across the land and make it look more evil. The swirling at the top near the pipe made it look all the more important so I decided to copy that a little on the bottom. 

Finally I drew in shadows, messed with the brightness, used a gradient tool for the sky and the bottom layer of the poster, used the patch tool to delete the star and keep the glow for the title, and added in the legal names for the poster to look more realistic. 

All-in-all you can tell that this was pieced together. But in a good way. I love how it turned out and again is one of my works I truly enjoyed making. 

To start with my idea I researched my topic a bit. I wanted to understand what side I was choosing to show to the audience and what design would fit best. 

After going with the cons of sugar, I began using shapes, the pen, and the shape builder tool to create my designs. After my candy and treats were complete I then 3D imaged each one for a realistic, yet very imaginative effect. When thinking of sugar usually you think of bright happy colors, so to sell this idea I create "cotton candy clouds" and bites in some of the designs so it feels lived in and takes on all the ideas of sweet treats in your mind. 

The teeth are simply a result of too much candy for some. People think of teeth falling out so with the candy designs I drew up some teeth. Next I started with my background and font. I wanted the heading to be chalk font because it again ties to imaginative thinking and reels you in. 

The important text was then put in a nice peep yellow to compliment the light pink background. I highlighted the most important words that went with the topic in the title to make it easier and faster to read which catches more eyes for a quick summary. 

I personally believe it looks like a ad in a magazine or something you see in a doctors office. Not only is it bright and fun to look at, but it tricks the onlooker to assume that the information is positive, only to hit them with hard facts on why sugar is bad for you. Again playing on the topic itself, that although sweets look and taste good, they are extremely bad for you in large, continuous amounts. 

This project is dedicated to my script, Where Did The Love Go. It is basic compared to the others I have done. That's because I didn't use Adobe, just a sketch app on my iPad. 

To make it, I used a non-copyrighted image and turned it vertically, made some text bubbles with the lasso tool and the paint bucket tool (same for where you can write the text), and used the opacity tool and text tool for the text itself. 

Though simple, I like the poster because it encapsulates the story of a married man who ghosts one of his lovers and obsesses over him. (the repeated text gives a sort of needyness). With my name or some company logos at the bottom (like anyone is used to seeing on a movie poster), it would look more like a poster and less like a screen saver. However, I can't do that because I am submitting my script and poster to the Cinequest film festival (go me :] ). 

Maybe when it is over I will add those things just for fun. 

Play Time is a film by Jacques Tati that I have been studying for the fall semester. As I was studying a large majority of his work, I found myself liking the film and its different yet complex meanings and the time it took to make said film in all its glory. So I decided to make a movie poster for it. I decided to include the apartment scene in my poster because the scene is really good, and I think it captures his point of view on international style and how it works, but it doesn't due to the lack of nature in the city. 

I worked on one room, then duplicated it and mirrored it for all four apartments, I added the TV and lamp lighting with the spray paint tool and used the opacity tool for most of the work. This can be seen in the curtains, car, and the apartments' windows. 

Lastly, I added the decorations of the trees and the car outside to show how people could be passing by and see whatever was going on (a flaw in the international style), and I added the iconic character Mr. Hulot as seen in the bottom left-hand apartment, the only outlier in this image.
