Obama-Style Poster


This is a poster that I created in the style that made the "Obama Poster" famous.
First I took a picture of myself and opened it in Photoshop. Then I changed it to black and white to make the following work a little easier. After I had all the different gray tones in the picture I chose four that I worked with. They will eventually become red, the light and the dark blue, and the bright yellow. After that I used the Posterize filter to create the poster look. Then I smoothed everything out and added some accents. Then I put in the four colors and added a outter glow like in the Obama poster. At the end I added the outter glow like in the Obama poster and a word that describes me. Done.

This is a newspaper I created similar to the "World Weekly News" with funny stories about stars, entertainment, and politics. I wrote the stories and edited the pictures with Photoshop. After that I put all the pieces together in InDesign to create the shape of the newspaper.
