Fashion Illustration

1. Show inspiration/research
  
 
 
2. Identify what the task is and how you will go about doing it?
 
We have to use one of our own fashion images and experiment with displacement maps, learn how to create backgrounds, how to make certain effects work with our image/idea, to use different gradients, to use blending modes and layer masks.
 
 
3. Come up with ideas_document thought processes
 
I found a fashion image that I’ve photographed last year. The way the model was dressed always looked to me like a reporter from the olden days. I used this image and decided to make it look like a vintage newspaper reporter.
 
 
4. Give reasons for your choices made
 
While I was working through the tutorial that was given to us, I started to change things how I wanted them so that it would work with my theme. I also didn’t use the given displacement maps, I used my own textured images that I de-saturated. I gave the image a brown tint to give it a more vintage feel.




    5. Discuss composition/colour/rhythm/texture/shape/surprises
        and considerations.


For my composition I wanted my subject to be in more than half the image because the focus is on my subject and the background is there to make my idea stronger. I used a brown colour layer which I blended with the image to give it an old vintage feel to the image. I found a newspaper brush which I used over the image but I turned down the opacity. I also used splatters to make it look like someone spilled some coffee over the image.
