Crump Poster #147

The poster number 147 is a weird geometry realized with vector with Illustrator and polished with Photoshop.

The design

As previously stated, I open Illustrator to paint some lines with a watercolor brush that I modify with the Twirl, Pucker, Bloat, Scallop, and the Crystallize tools. They help me to generate unique shapes at ​different places of my strokes. They make the visual more interesting.

After finish to modify​ the strokes in Adobe Illustrator, I open Photoshop to decant the illustrator shapes into Photoshop. The tools I use in Illustrator generates long, sharp shapes. It results in​​ a small form in Photoshop. I extend the form and cut it to have a lighter shape. I start to add some blend mode and Filters such as High Pass above the shapes. I duplicated the red and yellow gradient to apply a Hue/Saturation blending mode above for modify its color in blue.

Then, I apply an opacity mask to mask some part of the red shape and let appear the blue shape under. I play a moment with that until find a correct visual.​
