Introduction : This assignment was our last project of the year for Graphics Design 2 class. We had about 4 full classes to finish our product, but I was not able to finish it on time. For our throwback poster our main goal was to create a poster with a contemporary topic. Along with that it had to have a Vintage style. This project had to be done in 36 in X 24 in, 200 dots per inch document in Photoshop.
Description : For this project I had trouble finding a topic that I would be interested in doing. I was confused on what the project was asking, so it took me time to kind of get what I was asked to do. After a long time thinking of ideas I decided that I was going to make my project on my favorite soccer team which is Barcelona Fc. I made the project about the saying that every Barca fan says which is "Visca Barca". I also decided to add soccer players from the 2009-2010 season because it would give it a more vintage style since they are players that don't play at the club anymore. For this project I did not have time to sketch an idea because I was running out of time. I had to make this design fro scratch with no drawing to guide my process.
This is how my final result ended up looking like. I liked how it project resulted because it has a vintage style which was the main goal. Finding good quality pictures of these two players was hard because they played in the club a very long time ago, and this meant that cameras weren't as good. Another thing that I had to look for was the Barcelona font online. I could only find the font which was for illustrator, so I had to copy and paste it into photoshop. This made it little difficult because since photoshop works in layers, I had to copy and paste the letters multiple times. One was for the words and the other was for the shadows. Overall I think the result came out looking like a vintage style poster. I think that if we had more time and more help, then they result would've been better, but overall I am pleased with the result.
