3D LIKE MOMMA USED TO MAKE...



So I have dabbled with the idea for a while about doing a 3D poster design. So when my freind Mark Howlette (motivesounds records) approached me to ask for a poster design for his local monthly rock night "Mark & Nicks Big F*ck Off Rock Night", I thought it was an ample time for a first attempt. As per usual I left it till the last minute, meaning it was a little hurried in it's design and concept, (one night to be precise, woops!),but despite this I am happy with the results. The final effect is seen by utilizing the old classic 3D method of Anaglyph imaging, and using traditional Cyan and Red 3D glasses.
So here are both the final 3D version and the flat 2D version, and photos of the drawing process. I shall be doing the 3D concept again I hope with other work...


All parts of the poster were hand drawn. This started with the image of Mark and Nick. This was the hardest part in honesty, getting their likeness.
So first off mark...


...And Nick...


Each part was then inked with drawing pens.


To get the layout I wanted, I drew and inked each part seperatley using a sheet of glass and a light upshining so I could draw round each "layer". No money calls for DIY solutions...


...here's a few of the different sheets of paper together, beggining to give a an idea for the final layout...


as usual, I then scanned each drawing into illustrator, to clean up any roughness and used photoshop to layout. The 3D effect was created using layers in photoshop and adjusting their properties. Now stick on some old school Cyan and Red 3D glasses and enjoy the finished article at the top of the post.


and of course not forgeting the regular 2D "Flat Version".
