Storyboarding and the art of Justin Kaufman

What job could you get as a young creative designer? If you like sketching, you could get into storyboarding- creating visuals to help creative directors "see" what a scene, or character might look like. Storyboarders have to be fast, and able to render almost anything.

Justin Kaufman, and his company "Massive Black", are some of the best in the business.... check out these links to see more of his work.. the artist's site and massive black's site.

Matthew Cusick is SIIIIICK!

Make a Collage with the Face image....

The next step after scanning your face, is to create a collage with it.... use photoshop's selection tools to "cut out" pieces from other images (off the web) and add them to your face image.

Look at the samples below to see ideas about how to add images to the face image.... match the shapes found in the face, or work with matching values, etc....

The pint is to learn to scan, and to have soe creative fun with the result.
The image is due Friday, before vacation!!! So, get to it!

Concert Posters of the 1960's (Filmore Posters)

Known for their use of vibrant color combinations and active typography, these posters are great examples of how to make a very loud, colorful attention getting designs.

Much of the visual intensity comes from using complementary colors with similar VALUES. For example; purple and yellow used together, both are "paled up" to the same value.....

More examples are at this link...

Great example of active patterns used to make visual intensity....
