Description

One of our first projects in ART 244 was to create a black-and-white composition consisting of a studio-shot photo of a celebrity and one of their names, the first or last. It was an exercise is combining imagery and type, the basics of graphic design, and having them play off of each other through similarity or contrast. After drawing about a dozen thumbnails and finalizing the design I wanted, I took this image of Ewan McGregor, meticulously removed him from the background, desaturated him, and increased the contrast. Using the eraser and clone stamp tools, I made his frontside and backside flush vertically to accomodate the text, which is Century Gothic Regular with a kerning of -65. I added some finishing touches by painting in a few extra stray hairs and then printed out the high res image for presentation. My professor loved it; it was the only project in the entire class and throughout the entire semester that got a perfect score.
