My Process:
Since I didn't do a Graphic Day this week – part of my process – I had a longer process for the card. And my final image does not look anything close to my starting image.
Working in Adobe Illustrator, I had decided to use one of my sketches as inspiration for my card design.
Then I added color. I tried a complementary color palette, and, trying to go out of my comfort zone, it's not a palette that I would normally pick.
It's looking a little flat. So I added a drop shadow to add depth. I still wasn't satisfied so I also added some texture too.
And although the colors are not that bad, I just wasn't feeling it (my theme for the week). So I changed the colors.
Still not happy, I started all over and changed everything, including programs. So I went into photoshop and started with a textured background, and added layers of lines at different opacity, and with different effects and ended up with this:
TShirt Status
I am still working on the t-shirt. We are finding out that it's not as simple as it seemed.
We were doing good with S's shirt until we got to the screening part. I expected a thicker paint (yellow), and it just soaked right into the shirt (red). So we are letting it dry , then we will re-screen with a white base coat, and then try the yellow over it. Hopefully that will help! If anyone has experience with screening, let me know what kind of ink is best!
