Concert T-Shirt One Development

This is the original image which I took on the Green Screen. I carefully planned this image as from my research I had been able to see that for the type of concert ticket I wanted to create I needed an image which I could crop to focus on Melissa's (Vanessa's) face.

I  opened the image into Adobe Photoshop and firstly cropped the image and then used the magic want tool to remove the background. These stops are shown in the two print screens below.

After removing the background I decided to slightly blur the image as I felt this effect was suitable for the concert ticket.

After editing the image I then used the Google search engine to search for a heart shape made out of petals. I decided to do this the the petals and heart fit in with the theme of the music video and concerts that I am creating the T-shirt for. I opened the image in to a second Photoshop document and began by cropping the petals I did not need.

After cropping out the petals I didn't need, I found that there where still more petals I didn't need but I was unable to crop them out. To solve this problem I used the eraser. As I did not want the edges of the heart to look harsh or sharp, I selected the eraser with the blurred edges. I also decided to do this as the effect matches the one I have used on the image. 

This print screen shows me using the blur tool. After using the blur tool I moved several off the petals to create a solid heart shape. Which is shown in the print screen below.

After creating the heart shape I placed the image which I had edited before and saved in to this Photoshop document.

After opening the image into the same document as the heart. I dragged the layer containing the heart image above the image of Melissa (Vanessa). This now mean I was able to correctly position the image within the heart.

      

This is the final image I have created. I then saved the image as a PSD.

            

 

After completing the image I opened a blank Illustrator document. I then used the google search engine to find a black concert t-shirt. I them imported the image in to Illustrator. After importing the concert t-shirt into Illustrator I placed the PSD of Melissa (Vanessa) into Illustrator. After positioning the image I created Three text box's. In the first I wrote Vanessa, in the second Carlton and in the third and X. I then grouped the text boxes and right clicked. I then selected transform and rotate. This meant I could rotate the text at any angle. I also ensured that I used the agreed font for Vanessa Carlton's name, the name of this font is shown below.sing this font there will be links shown throughout the different ancillary tasks each member of the group creates. Having this link is a common code and convention and ensures our products look professional.

This is the concert t-shirt front I have created after following the steps above.

 Now I will begin creating the back part of the concert t-shirt. To begin the creation of the back of the t-shirt I opened a new illustrator document and imported the black t-shirt. The next step I took was to insert the logo our group has created (VC). I then wrote the year of the tour and left a space for the tour name as it is not yet finalised.

After doing this I then inserted a text box and wrote a list of concert dates and in what venue they are being held. I decided to center align this information as form my research I saw this was a code and convention. Furthermore I separated the concerts at each different venue. I decided to so this so the different venues where clear and could easily be seen.

This is the final version after I have taken the steps above.
