Day9 Mar-9

As my last work got approved by the supervisors, I was given their newest work, and asked me for some feedback, a conclusion and what can I do differently. At the first glance, I was amazed by the transition of the first image as I can imagine it represents the performer’s perplexed transition to a bright shining future under the spotlight. However, as soon as it introduced the 3 celebrities the design of the template looked a bit odd. The big yellow piece ruins the entire vibe to me personally. And the rest of the article is pretty much similar to other WoS Articles, therefore I started to make my own version of the article.

The first thing I wanted to do was remove the yellow bit. I however it is found quickly that the yellow was part of the image thus why the designer had the yellow color separation. But I insist on my decision as I still think it is good to remove the yellow, and I felt like separating the 3 celebrities to have the article introduce them individually. this made me browse way back till my diploma graphic design tutorial to lend me the skill to achieve my goal as hair cropping is very difficult to be done seamlessly. Gladly the image is black and white and my background color is chosen to be black, therefore I can hide a lot of the flaws.

After giving a general layout for the template roughly I decided to add some decorations to the design. With a brief look, the article is way too dark, thus I added a spherical gradient to represent the spotlight shining on each celebrity. And added a golden flow to match the watch’s theme to make the design somewhat luxury-looking. By the end of the day, I couldn’t finish the template as It took me a long time to do the hair cropping but posted the draft on the group chat and received a compliment immediately.
