This week we were required to do Design Assignment 50 worth 2 stars, we were suppose to come up with a bumper sticker, poster, or t-shirt to advertise our shows! This must be theme specific.  I decided to create a poster!

We decided on a road-trip theme! Once you listen to our show other details in this poster will make a lot of sense, I just don’t want to give to much away before you listen to us!

I used GIMP to create my poster! I started out with a picture of a road surrounded by desert. I played around with the coloring on this photo. I decided to use the posterize tool, this tool reduces the amount of colors used and you can select which level you wish to use. I really liked this tool I feel like it makes the photo look more like a drawing. After I had the coloring like I wanted it, I added my text, I played around with the colors and font style. And then for a cool touch I added a glare in the clouds, my goal was to make it look like the sun was shinning through them. I am pleased with the outcome of my poster!
