This project was really fun, First i went looking for some pictures that i felt captured the feeling of winter and placed them all in my file. Once i had my pictures i then decided my color triad which made the project a loe easier then picking a triad and finding pictures that fit it.
I have to stop a moment and talk about this snowman picture, I just had to have it, it was flat out amazing and turned out to be an amzing background my favorite of all the photos.
I used five photos becuase my first graphic design teacher taught me odd is always good and it has stuck with me sense then.
It worked out so well becuase i didn't want all my photos to be straight up and down way to boring for me so i tilted them on a side, most of the snowmen are looking to the lower right which creates a flow down to the right lower corner, so if the lower right is the bottom i thought then the upper left is the top, which is where i placed the seasons name. For the text i used white text rotated it 90 degrees used the wind effect from right to left a few times to get the lines, then i rotated it into posistion. Then i had to pick an accent color which i chose red which went against all my other colors, i placed it behind the title to pull it out of the backgroun more, i used a Gradient tool that made a row with both sides fading into transparent. I didn't like my photos just sitting there like duh duh duh, so i pulled them up by placing a stroke around the pictures.
I was going to use my custom brush i used on my crush project with white as the color but it really messed up my project so i took it out. On a hidden note if you start from the red strip and go between the pictures and end going up it makes a large W for winter, did you notice it before you read this? ;P
