Buster Keaton Leaflet


This is my newest project. It was created in InDesign. I had a few problems along the way but nothing major.
These included:
- Could not get the text into InDesign
- Could not warp the text around the image

The first thing we did was to create the two columns on the page. Next was to import the image of Buster Keaton. We then masked around Buster Keaton with the pen tool.
Once that was done we re imported the image to cut out Buster Keaton from the image.

Next was to arrange the image to the bottom left hand side of the leaflet.

To bring text into InDesign we, created a rectangle in the left column and placed the text into that rectangle.

Then we had to warp the text around the image.
Once that was done we had to make a copy of the picture. We then cut out the image of that mask and placed the rest of the text in that mask. I then moved that mask into the right hand column.
After that all that was left to do was to change the font and size of the text so the text does not overflow. Also was to add a title and the leflet was done.

Animal Faces




I have created two different animal faces. These are made from two pictures. One of a person and another of your chosen animal.


The picture to the left was a picture taken of a memeber of my class and a picture from the web of a monkey. I then used photoshop to take different features of the person and put them onto the face of the monkey. I used the eyes and the mouth on this image.


The results of this image are quite good. They are suttle changes but work well. The eyes look like the belong to this monkey. I think the mouth could off turned out better but still works well.






The image below is a Dalmation dog with Boris Johnson's hair, eyes and mouth. I used the same technique for this as i did with the last image. But this time i took Boris's hair and arranged it so it would fit and look good on the dog :) The mouth to me seems to fit well and looks quite realistic. The two eyes do not fit to well to the dog but look okay.

These were the two images used to make the Boris Johnson dog :)
