The Opera Poster is another project that I enjoyed working on. The main focus of the project is using the image, but I mostly painted with Photoshop. I had trouble with fonts because my poster was mostly hand-drawn, there wasn't a font that goes along with the drawing. My purpose of the poster is to look like paint that is messed up. It was interesting to learn about the opera because I had never seen one in my life. 

We started the project with the choose the 3 opera from the option that was given and researching them. After the research, we had to make a mood board and word cloud for each of the operas we chose. 

Then we had to sketch the thumbnails for the opera posters base on the mood boards and the word cloud we made. I believe we had to sketch at least 50 in total. I did have a few ideas, but not enough, which made me search for more inspiration. Most of the ideas that I liked were related to the opera called Tosca. 

I choose the sketch that I'm going to stick with and worked on the rough sketch in Photoshop right away. Tosca focuses on the strong red color as their representative color. I thought it would be good enough that I use only red to show the poster. However in-class the critique, other students suggest adding the other color would look more better.    

I took their advice and worked on the first final of the project. The mixture of colors did give the drawing more liveness into it. I leave the background white to more look like a painting on the canvas. I got feedback from my instructor, Marissa Raybuck, to fix a few problems and finished the final design of the poster.
