Here’s a nice little poster in regards to finding Dr. Oblivious! Oh no! He’s gone missing, what will we do?!?! I found the assignment at  http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/missing-persons-poster-for-dr-oblivion/ .

First off here, I opened up a blank canvas and entered different pixel values to enlarge the canvas until I was pleased. I decided on a size that was far longer than it was wide. I then chose the Brush Tool in Photoshop and decided on a color that I liked for the background, which was Gray. After doing this I decided to take the picture of the lost looking guy I had found from Google. I decided to post him up in the top left corner of my poster, and I used the blur tool to make the edges of the photo blurred and less distinct. I thought that this allowed the picture of him to blend into the poster well and not distract people. Basically the rest of the assignment I played around with fonts, text orientation, and celever wording for my Design Poster. At the bottom left corner, I put in very tiny text, a design hashtag, so to make my art distinct and unique. Anyways that was pretty much the process.

My inspiration for doing this assignment came from a desire to have some fun with an assignment. I took it as an opportunity to take something that was really a joke in all of its elements, but at the same time, create a serious undertone to it, which I thought that I accomplished in a humorous kind of way. I found another person’s work on the same assignment through the assignment page and really enjoyed their take on it. It can be seen here–> http://wynncissp12.wordpress.com/2012/01/28/missing-the-lock-for-the-key-the-lockman-monster-lost-lockman/

Anyways, that’s all I have for now. Hope you enjoyed!
