Today I started at 10 again and we looked at the banner which I made yesterday. my supervisor wanted to change the album cover of Pieces of Red as it wasn't a square album cover yet. We tried fixing it, but cutting a piece out looked stupid so instead I had to make a whole new album cover for them.
I first had to start with a background. I couldn't find one quickly, but my supervisor said I could use the red and black one. Then I had to paste in their group picture and get it in the center and right part.
As the picture stood out too much on its own I had to add a border by going to effects -> creative and vignet. I had to choose rectangle out of the four options and move the slider. It only works on a newly imported picture, so an edited one won't work.
Of course we also needed text and had to find a nice font. This was my job alone. In the other parts I had assistence, but this was my own decision which was kind of scary.
I went through a hundred fonts and picked six out of them. The supervisor asked me which one I liked best and I said the font which looks broken. It reflected back on their band name: Pieces of red.
The font color would be red obviously. The supervisor added another duplicate and made the borders a bit thicker and made it white on the background to make it stand out.
One bandmember was really happy with the design and was thanking me even though I didnt do much with it. The font was only my creation a little. Ah well. I did learn from it! I know what my options are.
We uploaded the picture on Facebook and then started writing a text introducing our company, what we do, what people can expect. Etc. We added a picture, but it was way too big. I deleted the photo and wasn't aware the whole text would be gone too. I didn't copy the end result! So we had to start over, but luckily we both remembered what was in there so it looks close enough. After that we posted about what packages we offer. Someone dropped by to talk about the Street machine weekend so I was drawing.
I'm trying to pick it up slowly and right now i'm practicing with shadows on a body. The pose is from posemaniacs, but I am trying to make different characters.
This one is the 16 year old Crystal =P I start with the skin first and when I am satisfied I will add the clothing and hair.
Take a look at our updated channel. Please like, we need it xD
