Make Your Own Motivational Posters - Final!
It's your Final! Show me what you can do and all of the good design sense you've learned and explored, the knowledge of the software and programs that enables you to make awesome artwork, and the combination of both your wit and cleverness and desire to produce good images to make some motivating posters!
Parameters - 11x14, 180 PPI
Combine Illustrator and Photoshop
Due Friday.
Think about appropriate font with images - Does the font match the image? Does the image match what the words are saying? Does the font match? Just like in any aspect of Commercial Art, that innate design sense we've been working on will show here - Some examples:

Trompe L'oeil and Photoshop
Let's see what kind of illusions we can create - Our goal is to fool the eye!
Trompe l'Oeil is a French term literally meaning "to deceive the eye." It dates back as far as 400 B.C. and was part of the rich culture of the Greek and Roman Empires. It is artwork that attempts to be so realistic that the viewer is fooled into thinking that actual three-dimensional objects are being displayed rather than a two-dimensional representation of those objects.
As adults, we obtain a sense of security in our ability to distinguish between what is real and what is not. When confronted with something that – if only for an instant – makes us question our perception of reality, we are intrigued and experience a thrill like a child at a magic show.
