Artwork in Progress
This ad was created by using a pattern-filled rectangle (daisies) for a background on which I used lines and rectangles to create an easel. I used Live Trace on the photo, but it wouldn't trace the branches so I had to draw them in free hand with the pencil tool. I created a mask of the traced layer to go over the photo, and then blurred the edge of the photo to look like it was still being worked on. The paintbrush was created separately in illustrator using shapes I drew and filled with gradients. I also used Illustrator to draw the frame for the state shape, which I saved as a master. Then I created a layer under the master frame with the paint dabs to look like a palette.
All the components were then put into Photoshop, where I used the color replacement tool to add the green into the daisy background. I placed everything where I wanted it after adding a blue rectangle at the bottom for the slogan. I added drop shadows to things to show the light coming from the left, because as a right-handed artist I always keep my work light to the left. Last, type was added and also given the shadow effect.
