Wonka Babies - Illustrator Font making

This is the font I created in Adobe Illustrator. 

First off, I typed the text - Wonka Babies into Illustrator, and used the font 'Futura Condensed Extra Bold', and changed the size so it filled the page.

Then, I clicked off the text and onto the Selection Tool and  

Type Faces

Horror

This font reminds me of the The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes, 

if it was in green, it would look like goo, especially with the drips coming 

down from the letters. It would look good on a poster maybe for Nightmare

One Elm Street. If it was in a different colour the letters would almost

look 3D. 

Romance

This font would probably be featured on a film poster like The Wedding Date 

with Debra Messing or Maid of Honor starring Patrick Dempsey. The font 

itself looks hand written, almost like how someone would write a love letter,

or when they leave a card on some flowers for someone within the film.

Sci-fi

The font would belong on a film poster for something like Star Wars

or Pacific Rim starring Charlie Hunnam. Or maybe a film like Galaxy Quest

which is a bit of a comedy and an action film. Its very futuristic, almost

like it belongs in TRON: Legacy or WALL·E. 

Action

This font would  most likely be featured on a poster, maybe for

Fast and Furious, if it had a brushed metal type effect added to it,

then it would look great on a poster for other films like Die Hard,

From Paris with Love and The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3.

Historical Drama
This font would probably be featured on a poster for Emma starring
Gwyneth Paltrow, or maybe Downton Abbey - like when they are
addressing a letter to someone, but when they were writing, it wouldn't
be at 3D, like with the little gaps in the letters. The font is almost
like calligraphy.

Adobe Illustrator - Daniel Radcliffe part 1

Orignal Image.

When I was first introduced to Adobe Illustrator, I didn't get how to use it, and by the end of the lesson, I still didn't know how to use it, and kept getting frustrated that I couldn't use it. But now that I have had another day using it, I have finally managed to get to know how to use it. 

This is the tool I used to
make an outline of the features I
wanted to make into a layer.

Then I did the outline of the face. Then I switched this layer off so I could do all of the other features on his face, like his eyes, lips and nose.

Step one, the white of the eye.

 Then I did the eyes in three different stages.

Step two, the colour of the eyes.

Step three, the pupils of the eyes.

The finished eyes.

Expendables Poster

The process

The process started by taking photographs of everyone included in the poster. The photos were taken against a green screen - we used this because it is easy to remove the background in Photoshop. The lighting was set up in such a way that is was hitting the side of everyone's face and also the background, which was lit up so it would be easier to see the green in Photohop, and be easy to remove it. 

Photoshop & Dafont

When all the photos had been taken, and I had downloaded them from LearningBox/SkyDrive, I uploaded them all the Photoshop,and then one by one, I used the Magnetic Lasso Tool to make an outline of each person, then after I had made an outline, I got hold of the cut out object and moved it on to the background layer, so it got rid of the background.-----The green of the green screen. Then after I had done this for all the people that are in the poster, I resized them all – with the transform option and by holding down the shift key, so the resizing of the image didn’t skew up when I made it smaller or bigger.

After I had done this to all my cut outs of people, by making them all different sizes, as the people at the front are slightly bigger than the people in the background, I went onto DaFont and searched for an appropriate font for the title and the names across the top of the poster.

After searching I found the font ______________, I chose this one because I thought that it looked the best out of all the other ones I had looked at.

To be able to use the font on Photoshop, I firstly downloaded the font from the website, installed it into the Mac, quit Photoshop, then reloaded it back up, and then I was able to use it as a font choice in the text menu.

The original image, that was imported into Photoshop.

I used  Magic Lasso Tool to create the outline around the image.

This is the image, after completing a 'full circle' outline.

The image with the background deleted - it has been
pulled onto another layer, the one with the background on,
but I have turned it off.

The background image with the person on it, the
background has been tuned on.

The background without the person on it.

The 'Magic Lasso Tool' the
third icon from the top, with
the picture of a magnet.

This is the font that I used for my poster off DaFont
