creative process

I thought i'll go quickly thru the process of designing a poster. This poster design i'm doing is for a hip hop event. These are the 3 ideas i went thru

The client decided to stick with the hiphop urban feel with imagery of cityscapes and grungy feel (my specialty!!)

Using illustrator, I created some vectors from photos of cityscapes.

Next, I use Photoshop to remove the background of a hip hop girl for the poster using the pen tool and creating a new path so that's it's a clean cut. I hate the magic wand!!

Finally, I put everything together in Illustrator and play around with layouts and composition
