Christmas Presents

So, I was trying to think of Christmas presents for my family. I wanted to give something personal and meaningful, but I was on a very limited budget. So, with a little time and less money, I opted to use what I was good at and make my grandparents posters.

Posters

So, lately I've been making a few posters for peoples' recitals. They are more graphic design than photography oriented, but I think it's fun. It's a different mindset when you are shooting; you must think about conveying a very specific message, and leaving room for text in the composition.

This was a poster for the amazing Hannah Lee Kettenacker:

I think it turned out nice. I like the colors, and she really liked the zebra stripes. This next one, however, is my pride and joy right now:

Daniel Chioco's Recital Poster. It is probably some of the best photoshopping I've done to date, and I'm pretty proud of that explosion. When shooting, we were going for an action movie feel, and I think the poster captures that really well. It's also playful, for if anyone knows Daniel, he is quite a subdued and calm fellow. Feel free to comment if you like the poster!
