Back of wanted posters

Here is a design for the back cover of the wanted posters of the celebrities mug shots, based around old wild western wanted posters, which I wanted to design a back cover for the posters, so when I print out the posters I will double print on the back of the paper so these will be on the back of the postcards so their be on show at the exhibition.

For the back cover I used the same poster image from the internet, which I used for the celebrities posters, where I added playbill front, which again I used for the posters. I got the image of the working men's college logo from the internet, where I transferred the image onto the poster and using colour balance I turned the logo into a brown type based colours to help match the logo better. I also added the courses name and my name.   

I believe the back will match the top side of the postcards due to similar colours being used and the same style of text being used.  

Wanted celebrities poster

Here is a poster I created with all twelve of my celebrity mugshot Photoshop images with there names included. I used the Photoshop scale tool to shrink the images so they would all fit on an A2 poster, which I intent to go above my final piece to show the images together and clearer as a set.

 I also added a brown coloured to the Wanted Celebrities title, so the title would go with the images. 

I intent to have them printed on gross paper so the images will look good above the mugs.   

mug shots on mugs

Here is my final piece of work for the project, where using transfer paper I printed off my images onto transfer paper and using water I stuck my images around the surfaces of the mugs, with the drawings of the celebrities on one side and the pieces of text around the other side of the mugs, where I tried to position the drawings and text around the same position on all twelve mugs.  

With the mugs I tried to make all twelve link together with the style of the drawings and text used along with the colour and the way the images where layed out. I also wanted the text to be clear on all twelve mugs so the written was readable.

I like the mugs because I believe the text has come out really well on the mugs, even better than the drawings, I also think the colours used for the text and drawings standout well against the white surface of the coffee mug and I believe all the drawings and pieces of text have been positioned well in most areas, also the work has come out better than I thought it would, but next time I need to make sure I layer out the images more smoothly along the surface so the images don't have round marks on them.  

This work is very similar to the transforming the everyday final piece, where I printed out my drawings of cups and bottles on transfer paper and stuck them around the surfaces of plastic cups and bottles, which was a technique I felt work well and could be improved, so this time to improve from last time I made the images of celebrity mug shots bigger and added text to the work and I felt I layed out the images smoother this time.

Celebrity wanted posters

These are a series of old western wanted posters I created based around wanted posters from the wild west, where my drawings of celebrity mug shots are on the posters. I found a old based wild west wanted poster on the internet, where I put it on Photoshop and put my drawings in the centre of the poster, which I added a £100'000 reward under the drawing, where the original posters had reward for the death or capture of the criminals, I also added the names of the celebrities onto the posters.

With the colours used I used the colour balance tool to add colour to my drawings, which were meant to be similar to colours of the poster.

With the images I wanted to created a series of wanted posters that links to the idea of using old western wanted posters, where I could explore different ideas of different forms of mug shots.

I like the wanted posters because I think my drawings fit in well with the posters and most of the colours from the colour balance tool I feel work well with the background colour of the poster, but next time I have to make some of the celebrities cloths and faces fit in better with the poster background.

I was thinking maybe for the final exhibition I could have these images printed on postcards and give them out to the public.     

Finished mug shot images

Here is the series of Photoshop images I created from my mug shot drawings, where I transferred my drawings onto Photoshop, where using the levels tool I made the lines from the drawings stronger, which made them stand out more. I then used the eyedropper and colour filter tool to transfer the colours from the original photos from the internet to my drawings, so they would look like old black and white photos. I then dragged the names of the celebrities onto the drawings and poisoned them onto the white clear sections of the drawings for ten of them, with the other two I put their names under the drawings later on.

With the images I tried to make the images I made on Photoshop similar to the mug shot photos of the celebrities, with the colours and body shapes used.

I like the images because I believe the colours used work well with the drawings and have made them look like black and white photos and I believe the names have fitted in well with the drawings, where the colours used for the lettering are similar to the one's used for the drawings, but next time I need to some of the celebrities faces darker.

I now need to printed the images on transfer paper and stick the drawings and pieces of text around the surface of twelve different coffee mugs.  

These Photoshop images are very similar to the snap card project Photoshop work I did, with football club badges, where I transferred the colours from the original club badges from the internet onto my drawings of the badges, which I done the same for the mug shot images, where I used the same method of colouring my images of celebrity mug shots.          

coloured reasons

Just like on the last post I have added the same dark and light grey colours to these pieces of text so they would fit in well together, where I used the darker grey colour to show the 3D shapes from the letters and the lighter grey colours to original letters. 

With the images I tried to make them stand out more and fit in well with the other pieces of text I created.

I like the images because the colours used have shown the 3D effect of the text better and the text would fit in well with the last pieces of text I created on the last posted, but next time I need to draw some of the 3D areas weirder so the darker grey colour can used the 3D areas more clearly.  

Series of coloured celebrity names

Here I have put the celebrity names on Photoshop Where I first used the levels tool to improve the quality of the lettering, than I added a light and dark grey colour to the letters using the colour filter, so the names would fit in with the idea of creating a black and white photography based images. 

With the images I tried to added grey colours to the names so they would fit in with the mug shot drawings once I added a similar band of colours to the drawings.

I like the images because I believe they will fit in will with the idea of creating images similar to black and white photography photos of the celebrities, where I believe the two different grey colours work well with that idea and each other, but I need to make some of the outlines smaller so the outline fits in better with the other letters.

I now need to transfer the names onto the mug shot drawings.
