30 Year Macintosh Anniversary

30 Years of Macintosh

This has been one of my favorite project so far for this semester. I used very simple design elements to create this "modern" style poster. I filled the background with circles to add contrast with the text, and around and behind the text i erased the circle to sort of highlight the words. I made the text get smaller as it went down the poster. The 30 is larger to enforce the idea that the Macintosh computers have been around for 30 years. I also used the old Apple slogan "Think Different" as a little homage to the company that has brought us great computers over the years.

This project was fairly simple. I used various methods in order to make the poster look just the way I wanted it to. The dollar signs around the graduate were done simply with the type tool, once that was complete I rasterized the layer and masked out the graduate so it would appear that the dollar signs were going behind the graduate. The images at the bottom were taken from the FIT website, and are of a few areas around the campus, including their Engineering Building. The gold border around the photos is simply an outer stroke.

This project was a little more involved than some previous projects. For this project I needed to use Photoshop and Illustrator in order to obtain the correct look of the poster. In Illustrator I made the bottom banner using the rectangle tool, text tool and a warp to make the banner bend. For the top and bottom red banners I use a water color brush, then used the rectangle selection tool and elliptical selection tool to cut it off and make it look neat.
