In terms of process, everything went really well in making my final project for Illustration class. I made a poster for the film Marie Antoinette, directed by Sofia Coppola. I used a still image from the film to help guide my hand drawing, and I think I drew it pretty well. Then I scanned my drawing, and I used Photoshop to digitally place different photographs of different materials and textures into each part of the drawing. Meaning I placed a picture of silk satin in the bodice of her dress, tulle in her skirt, charmeuse in her sleeves, and a rococo style wallpaper in the background, etc. I tried to stick with all shades of pink for her dress, to compliment the wallpaper colors, which are green and pink. Also, I think my style I used for this poster compliments the tone of the film quite well, because the film is totally decadent and has a punk rock quality to it, and I tried to mirror those elements in the decadence of the wallpaper and the materials and textures in her dress, as well as the lo-fi/punk-ish lettering and placement of the titles. I enjoyed making my final poster, and I like how it looks!
