This is a poster that I did for my illustration class more than a year ago. The assignment was to do a series of sketches based on two compound words and to create a poster based on those sketches. One of the words I had chosen was "Eye Candy" which this poster is based on.
I first do the tracing and coloring in Adobe Illustrator. Then, I moved it to Photoshop to work on the lighting, texture, and shading to make it more eye-catching and pleasing to the eye.
So, here is my ideation for this poster. As I said before, one of the words that I had chosen was "Eye Candy", but the other word was "Starfish" as seen in the sketches. The sketches in the upper half and the one on the mid-left are for "Starfish" while the ones in the lower half and the one on the mid-right are for "Eye Candy". As one can see, in the photo down to the far-lower left, the sketch on the right of that photo is the one I ended up using for the poster.
