Description: The original painting of Our
Lady of All Nations was used as the basic image to create an Adobe Illustrator
full page ad or wall poster.
Adobe Photoshop was used to create Clipping Paths of Mary's
head, hands, feet, and of the world upon which she stands.
These clipping paths were then imported into Adobe Illustrator
to complete the graphic.
A "follow-the-dots" pattern was developed for the central
focus of the illustration and that portion of the picture was left primarily
white, with subtle gradient mesh shading and a few simple lines to
enhance the "missing" items in the ad. The pen tool was used to create
the sash that compliments the ìmissingî gown.
Ad text that tied into the "follow-the-dots" theme was
developed and set on an oval path. |
