This is about a year and a half old. The main title was to be in foil/silver overlay, so just ignore the lame gradient. It was an assignment, so there were some requirements I had to meet - namely it was black and white plus one spot, and since it was an Illustrator class we had to do it in Ill. Yuck.Oh and don't mind the edges being cropped too close, in reality, they're not. Illustrator sucks at exporting the entire canvas and not just the artwork.It's a hardbound book cover, btw, in case it's not apparent. It'd be folded to have the inner flaps, the cover, spine and back cover in their appropriate places.

That and I'm sure I won't be pasting together 4 different pictures with different quality from all over the Internet.

MY TURN! Going to the Ai of Philadelphia next year. =] Majoring in Graphic Designing. I pretty much mastered photo manipulation. Movie poster created from 5 different pictures of actors, one picture of clouds, and one of a town by an ocean. Another Movie poster created from a picture of a field of trees, a shed (turned it into a night shot), and an face. Elephant, Ocean, Power Plants, and Towers Image of an ocean of water drifting into it. I added the mist and made the sky more 'romantic' A shot of a girl, I added the 'orbs' and the glow off her face. Pretty much a guy turned to stone. I applied the tattoo to the back of the girl and her arm. Just a type effect. Invisible man? A square apple? Ya, its not natural

Nice work Kevzaz... I've seen something online or on TV where you can buy the software to teach you how to do stuff just like that... how to do all those different effects... cool stuff.Now if I could just figure out how to get all my handmade drawings into my PC and coverted to clean line/vector art... I would be set.
