Billy Mays Fish?! - First Photoshop Project

My first experimental Photoshop project! What you see here is Billy Mays advertising OxiClean products as a giant, flying fish that has landing gears and pilot glasses!

While creating this, I was learning about Photoshop and some of its tools. While I was mainly restricted to only a few tools due to me being new to this program, I had used the brush, magic wand, eraser, and lasso tools to set this up.

Final Poster Design!


At long last, I have finished my poster!  This theme here is Knowledge, which I expressed using an old english font K, and many quotes of wisdom.

Top left red text: "It's said, war - war never changes. Men do, through the roads they walk." - Ulysses (This person is a virtual character from the video game known as Fallout: New Vegas)
Top left yellow text: "Knowledge is a funny thing Auron. The more of it that's in your head, the more your head can hold." - E.E. Knight
Middle green text: "Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works." - Steve Jobs
Middle yellow text: "When it's obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps." - Confucious
Right orange text: "Life is really simple, but we insist on making it difficult." - Confucious
Right red-orange text: "Common sense is not so common." - Voltaire
Bottom yellow text: "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bottom green text: "I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best." - Benjamin Disraeli

The image used for the background is the Eagle Nebulae.

Early Poster Design


An early idea I had for one of the final projects for my Electronic Design class.
I'm trying to incorporate all of these quotes into or around the capitalized K, which will draw the viewer around the poster.

My last typography design, using the word Camouflage.
