Week 11 - 9 Variations Part 2

 

              De Gea (Skip)                               Casillas #1                           Ramos #4

 

     Cannavaro #5                          Ronaldo #9                                Xavi #6


 

    Maldini #3                               Ronaldinho (Reverse)                        Thiago #2

Craft: The craft for these variations is basically the same as the one from last week. I used the pen tool, the layers panel, and color picker tool. The only other tools that I began using were the transparency, opacity tool, and a bit of the line segment tool as well as the earser.

Composition and Concept: What I started doing in these variations was adding more shadows to create a more realistic look. I did this especially on the jerseys. I created those shadows by creating shapes with the pen tool that would resemble the natural marks on a jersey when in movement. I filled those shadows with a white color. I then went to the transparency tool and played with the opacity until the shapes were not too visible and also not too invisible. When I created shadows on the skin I used the same process except I filled them with a black color and then lowered the opacity. Also for some of these players I had to create a beard. I did that by creating some line segments and once I had a couple I just kept duplicating using Shift + Command + Click and Drag. Once I had enough to cover their entire  beard spot I played around with the opacity until it resembled how it looks on the players in real life. To finish this process off I used the eraser tool to clean up around the beard area a bit.

Week 10 - 9 Card Variations

 Cristiano Ronaldo #7

 Steven Gerrard #8

Referre

Craft: To create this cards I decided to use the pen tool instead of the brush tool, because I felt more comfortable with it. I would use the pen tool to trace images of the famous soccer players and ref that I picked. I was also very actively using the layers window as well as the color picker tool.

Composition and Concept: To create these illustrations I placed a picture of a player, like Cristiano Ronaldo, on one layer. Then I would start tracing the overall outline of the entire image with the pen tool. Once the outline was done I would also trace separately every part of the shit and short. To give the face and hands more detail, I created shapes with the pen tool to make those extra details, like the chins of the players. or the wrinkles on Gerrard's neck, and the fingers on the Referre. For the hair I traced the outline of their hair in the pictures. After creating the hair I would make an outline that would cover their entire faces and necks and then I would move it under the hair outline in the layers panel. I then used the color picker tool to fill all the different parts of the illustration. Since it is a game that I will be playing with my friends, I wanted the color concept for these cards to be darker than the regular Uno deck. I also wanted the illustrations to look a lot like the real players, because it would give it a cooler feel when playing with my friends.

Idea for Card Game:  When we first got assigned this project I thought about making a poker deck. I originally want to make one of those crisp, clean, and fancy poker decks. As I did my research I thought about doing a soccer themed deck, because I thought it would be easier considering I have never done one. I then decided that I would do a soccer theme UNO Deck instead, because I could play this with my friends who also like soccer. To create them I would do I darker colored background in comparison to the regular UNO, and I would have a bigger circle in the middle and two smaller circles on opposite corners. I would have a soccer player in the middle circle displaying a number. The number would also be shown in the smaller circles.
