The Seussify of the DS106er

So for this post I decided to focus on the Twilight episode “The Eye of the Beholder.” Which is the first Twilight episode I ever saw…it’s also the creepiest I’ve seen to date.

Anyways, for this design assignment we were supposed to “Seussify” an episode from The Twilight Zone. I thought sounded pretty fun, so I went for it on my lunch hour.

I decided to play with the cover for “And to Think That I saw it on Mulberry Street”

And here’s what I came up with:

dr.seuss

 

So to start with a created a blank blue background in paint.  I then found this cartoon image of the nurse from the episode on google, put her in a seperate paint file, cropped it and gave her the same blue background.  I followed this same process for the Mulberry Street sign which I cropped off of the original book cover.  Unfortunately I did this on my work computer so I couldn’t download any legit Seuss fonts from the web, but what’s a girl to do about firewalls?  So in photshop (because also for some reason creating curved font is banned in microsoft word on my work computer) I created the curved font in what I thought was the most whimsical/Seussy font they offered.  I then to the image to pixlr where I overlayed the image of the stars – which looking back on  I would have done before inserting the images or words.

Not a picture perfect Seuss cover but definitely Twighlight Zone-ified!

Difficulty: 3 stars
