Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator
This project encompasses a full-spread magazine advertisement for Star Apparel, a clothing line with urban pieces on a global scale. Because the company wished to target buyers from 18 to 35, I decided to use skulls, angel wings with skeletons, graphite, skaters, and beautiful models. The ad is hip-hop meets rock-n-roll (think Run DMC and Aerosmith). I used Adobe Photoshop to manipulate the models onto the backdrop image, then layered other graphics to make the spread. After drawing and inking the background image by hand, I scanned it into the computer where the layout was created. A fellow artist and photography acquaintance helped me with the models’ photo shoot. I then took those images into Photoshop and pieced together the spread.
