Social Awareness Poster

In this social awareness poster, I tried to project the importance of a healthy nutrition. Walking daily helps you stay active and can help you lose weight. The idea for this poster was to demonstrate how a healthier public needs to start getting active and that it only takes one to make a difference.
In order to create the finished produce, I imported an outer space background and then a picture of earth. Next I changed the resolution and color balance to achieve the purple hues. After, I created a heart with a footprint banner in illustrator and turned the opacity to  fifty. After importing the heart to my photoshop poster and placing it over the earth, I resized it and erased the parts of earth that we outside of the heart. Lastly, I put the quote at the top.

In this tutorial I experimented with the pen tool. After importing a template gingerbread man, I utilized the pen tool to trace the borders. However this did not allow me to get the inside features. In order to create the bow tie, buttons and face I used the pen tool on a different setting which allowed me to cut pieces out of my stencil. Then, I chose a hue of brown to finish the stencil and turned off the background template layer.
