Emulation

Once I had completed my copy of the Barbarella, I had to make an emulation of the design. I decided to do one of Captain america as I thought the vintage design would fit in nicely with the 1940's style of the film.


Like with my copy, I created a circle from rotating triangles but with this one, I alternated the colours. I then used the same rotating technique to create a circle of stars and gave them a rough a sketchy edge. 

To put the final poster together, I put all the pieces together by changing the layers, tones and inverting some of the colours of the images.

Copy

This is the original design for my copy. I really liked the striking colours and shapes used in the design and so i made a copy of it.

Firstly, I opened illustrator and created a pink background with a rough edge. I then drew a thin triangle and used the rotate and duplicate tool to create a tight circle of triangles. 

Next, I drew a circle, but gave it a rough edge using a brush tool. This created the vintage and retro effect seen throughout the original design. I then made a thin black circle which added a contrast to the deign.


My next step was to add in the figure. I took the picture I wanted off Google Images and added it to photoshop. Then, using a filter, I created a pixilated effect on the figure and put her on to the background.


To finish the design, I put a filter over the top of the design using a print of an old piece of paper. Finally, I added a the text and the paramount logo.
