Lowlight: Tight deadline. Aren't they always!
Fill in: New poster is to accompany the special collector's package!
Emily is after a new poster and a 3 colour version of the Army of the Dead image to go on a grey t-shirt.
Poster is not a problem as I save all my artwork in full PSD layered files and there are plenty of un-used portraits of the band from the previous shoot that did not make the album. I have also created a few different backgrounds for this session so it is a simple matter of creating a few ideas for Emily to choose from.
I sent these initial ideas:
Final image with Emily's choices and suggestions:
Tech Spec: The T-shirt however is a new one on me as not sure how fine the screen printing can go. In the end I decide to convert the image to black and white, colourise with blue and then reduce the tonal range before converting the image to a GIF file matching to 3 exact colours to get the effect I want. It takes a few goes to get the faces looking alright but Emily seems pleased (no mean feat...) and hopefully the t-shirts will look great.
TSHIRT : AWAITING IMAGE APPROVAL
