My minimalist poster for the beach is quite simple: sand + ocean + chair. When I go to the beach I go to relax and enjoy the view which I believe is represented through this poster. To start I opened a Gimp file and filled in using the color bucket the “Sand” half and “Ocean” half. I used the “Smudge” tool to create a blending effect between the sand and ocean. I then used the “blend” tool to make the top half of the ocean lighter, appearing to be the sky. Lastly I pasted an outline of a beach chair which I found on google. I filled in the chair with the appropriate colors by using the color bucket. Now I find myself missing spring break.
