Do you have vacation pictures? Do you have pictures? Of anything? Then you can participate in this class! In this quick 32-minute class, graphic designer Connor Brandt shares the process and techniques for creating an accurate, eye-catching illustration of your very own photographs.
You will learn how to recognize the basic shapes needed to represent your original image while giving it a more bold, streamlined look. By juxtaposing the deep shadows of the foreground with a radiating sky, thick frame, and art deco text, you can make even the most mundane picture look like something that belongs on the front of a postcard.
What picture will you choose? The Golden Gate Bridge? Your childhood home? The local Walmart? There's no limit to what you can do. So let's get started!
