Poster Rounded Edges #5 is a minimalist and clean design which features an optical illusion! I am proud of the result and I was also surprised.
The Design
I approximatively knew what I wanted to create with today’s poster. I have to thanks my sketches for that reason! I started the design by trying to create a rectangle only with strokes by following the guide of my isometric grid. After made some imperfection such as shadows which didn’t fit precisely blue stroke layer, or even two anchors not perfectly posed on each other, I finally start it over.
Once I did it, I duplicated the square and play around with it shapes to see what I can create until I find the result that you can appreciate on the left. Without forget to say that I tried to incorporate some of the rectangles I previously created on the other posters. It was unfortunate and unnecessary catch attention, and the canvas needs no further additional forms to be nice.
Once I finished the design in Adobe Illustrator, I pass in Photoshop to polish the global look. I added noise and a blur Filters above and under my geometric optical illusion. Those effects bring other depths and texture to the poster, and that’s welcome.
Speed Art Poster #211
I still feel sick, and I fall asleep around 5 am. It was the occasion to contemplate the sun rays through an heavy-fog! The atmosphere looks yellow and brings a weird lights.
Except that chapter, I made the speed art video number 211. And guess what. I met some problem again! With Quicktime which didn’t want to register the video and only kept the last two minutes of a 20 minutes records. So frustrating!
You will miss the Photoshop part that I describe above in the video.
I thank you for being there, and I see you tomorrow for poster number 213!
