Adapted editorial 10

Based on the suggestions from the critique, I have adapted my chosen editorial and i am now really happy with the outcome. It took longer than i thought it would but i suppose i have just learnt to use the layers properly in photoshop for next time!!

In the critique session the general feedback was positive but i needed to neaten up the bottom edge of the image and take out a few unnecessary elements.

Editorial 10- chosen article

For this editorial i chose an article from the New Scientist magazine to illustrate. The article is short and basically explains how the melting ice (due to climate change) is sending bears into human camps etc searching for food and becoming potentially problematic.
I was a bit nervous about this one as it is the last editorial and i wanted to do a good job. Also, i wanted to colour it on photoshop and my skills are by no means top notch yet! Although, i am happy with what i have produced and think i am much better at photoshop stuff than before: Eg i used clipping masks for textures, layer masks for line colour and attempted to use different brushes and create shadows which i usually do not attempt to do! Think it turned out ok.

An extra challenge for this article was the fact that i had to create the layout pretty much from scratch because the original layout in the magazine meant that my illustration would have to be really small and i just didn't fancy that! Personally, i think i did alright with it!
