Carnival Poster- Final image

The carnival freak in my poster features "Dog Face" who is half man and half dog. The text i used for those words is called Rosewood and they are held within yellow banners and bubbles. Gradients were added to those objects as well as a filter called "posterize".

Dog Face was created using an image of myself in a suit and an image of my dog. The dog's head replaces my head and i used the clone stamp tool to create the fur on my hands as well as a tail to my image's back. Dog Face also has a drop shadow in order to create a light source and to have him come forward.

Dog Face is framed within the text and within an oval hole in a red rectangle. I also added a blue floral pattern last minute, since Angela taught me a neat trick using Eduardian text to make such patterns.

The background is originally a gold curtain, but I had to give it a shade of blue in order to give it a cool color that would bring it behind Dog Face. The image is borrowed from freedigitalphotos.net by a photographer who goes by the name of "nuttakit".

Carnival Poster: How it looks so far...

The image still needs a background. I might even add more to decorate the image if I have the time.

So far the frame and the text look alright, and I was able to add dog fur to the hand. I added a filter effect to "Dog Face" as well.

The text on the bottom says: "Not only a well behaved dog, but a gentleman as well!"

Assignment 5: Sideshow Poster- roughs

After observing my references I created these roughs...

I started out drawing this one. This is when I decided to call my character "Dog Face". I gave him a suit in order to make him seem more man-like.

Here is the second rough that I drew. I decided to make a draw a full image of Dog Face. I was even able to show his tail. I also added additional text since I got that idea through my references.

In this third one I decided to make Dog Face interact with an environment. He is having dinner while sitting on a dinner table. Notice that he is drinking through a wine glass. This shows the man-like side of him. His dinner is in a dog bowl which brings out the dog-like side of him.

I'm planning to use the third image as the the idea for my project. I'll probably add more alluring text such as: "It talks! Like a gentleman!"; "The most civilized talking dog man you'll ever MEET!"

I might take a picture of me in a suit holding a wine glass at a table. I'll probably use my dog again for the head of Dog Face.

Assignment 5: Sideshow Poster- references

I've decided to do a sideshow poster with a half-man and half dog in it. I did a google search to look for several references and this is what I found....

This poster makes the lobsters look like they are human-like.

The layout this poster has might be what I eventually use.

I like the way the borders are in this poster.

The one thing I don't like about this one is that it is OFFENSIVE! Other than that... the use of text in this poster is interesting.
