Poster roughdraft 1 : Conserve Electricity

Applied from Tutorial 1 ; 'Qatar'

Since I had such an amazing week in Qatar this past spring break, I decided to create a design relating to it. Based on the tutorial that I did, I used some of my pictures which I took while I was in Doha, the capital of Qatar. For the background, I used a skyline picture of Doha, a Qatari flag, and an old paper texture. In the foreground I used a picture of the camel which I actually rode for 10 minutes during my trip to the desert. I also made a variation of it.

Tutorial 1

This is a Photoshop tutorial that I did for my Type 2 class. It took me a while to complete it but it felt good to look at the finished work. Plus, I think I'm starting to feel more comfortable working with the Photoshop :)

To see the tutorial that I did, go to my Type 2 blog and it is under Assignment 4:

Elements of Design Illustrations Part1

Here are simple illustrations I drew for the pictures
I gathered last week. I still haven't revealed which
design element goes with each picture. However these
drawings might help you even more to guess which elements they represent.
