Art Deco Poster


I did an Art Deco Poster for Air Caribbean. I wanted to show the person who would be looking at this poster that the Caribbean is a sunny, warm, inviting and beautiful destination for vacation. I took all the pictures from google and placed them into Adobe Illustrator and live traced them at color 16. This gave them an animated, painted look. I put a gradient on the sun from orange to yellow so it looked warm. The palm trees have dark and light green. I put an effect on the letters, sun and palm trees so they looked 3D and popping out of the picture. The slogan "Nothing like Island time" has a brown to yellow gradient so it looks like sand, but doesn't blend into the sand of the beach. I thought the Art Deco project was hard because I had never seen a deco before this project so it took me a couple of days to figure things out. I didn't use an online tutorial, but Mr. Boothby gave me a book that had a couple pages with art decos on them which showed how to put texture and different colors into the deco to make it look as if it was painted not computer generated. Below are the individual pictures I used in this project.
