Boats in the Harbor
With this ad I went simpler with art, because I wanted the scenery to do the work. I used four of my husband's photographs from the north and south shores of Long Island to put together an ad that would appeal to lovers of water sports and scenery. Just looking at it and I can almost smell the salt air.
I used Photoshop to tweak the photos and make them brighter and more intense through adjustment layers like curves and saturation. I used Illustrator to make the state frame look like an island with a sailboat next to it, and put it all together with Photoshop. A few outer and inner glows give the pictures subtle but distinct frames. The blue rectangle created in Photoshop was adjusted to a lesser opacity so the marsh grass would be visible, and the state shape got a shadow and a glow which resulted in helping it look like an island in the water. Type was added last, which received a shadow to also look like it is floating in the water.
