Animation Magazine Cover

The purpose of the Animation Magazine Cover was to show how to use Photoshop and Illustrator thoroughly and efficiently. In order to complete the assignment, there needed to be three teasers, an image of character self-made, only two fonts used, a headline, a subheading, the volume, the date, and the barcode. The final product was a magazine cover with the cartoon character, which was created in Adobe Photoshop. First, a hand copy of the girl was scanned onto the computer. Next, using the pen tool mostly, the character was traced. Finally, color was added to each layer starting from head to feet. The final magazine cover was finished in Illustrator, where the heading and subheading were added. It was a very difficult task to make the cartoon character considering the detail of the picture; however, this assignment improved my skills in Photoshop. It also taught me about excellent font choice and font colors.
