Winter Face Panel

Top: My photoshop plan for my next paper cut. Continuing on the Fedrigoni paper book project. This is one of four panels that will go towards making a whole face, each depicting a different season. This one is obviously winter. Sketched out the basic design and then scanned it in and designed it properly on photoshop. I like using photoshop as a rough planning tool, 'cause then I don't tend to mind when it turns out shitty.


 Bottom: This is the actual paper cut. I muted the colours of the paper in order to give it a more sophisticated feel. The actual piece is better in the flesh, as it were, as I left the snowflakes free so you can see feel them. Don't mind how it turned out, think it'll look good with the others. Not sure whether to include the dots or not though, any thoughts?





 

Photoshop v.s. paper cut

This is one of my ideas for another YCN brief which I only managed to start yesterday. It's for a whiskey company that want to attract a much younger audience than the one they have now (old men in Scottish pubs apparently). One of the ways they're doing this is through a few new combinations of drink they are promoting. This picture in particular is Whiskey, cranberry, lime and crushed ice so I thought I would give each cocktail a sort of personality with a strong emphasis on colour. I did this in photoshop as I need more practice in the digital field and considered the layers as I would layers of paper. So, in essence this is a plan for my paper cut version. It was fun and simple to do (for once). I'm hoping to start the paper version this week and also another combination of drink =D

Hope everyone has a brilliant week. And Happy Valentine's day for tomorrow. xx
