Superhero Tradeshow

Objective: Effective use various photo manipulation techniques to create a printed assets and signage to promote a superhero trading card game at a tradeshow of our own design.

Process: I was familiar with how to create designs for banners and signage of varying sizes. However, I was still relatively new to the process of photo manipulation, and the task to turn images of people into superheroes was a tricky one. Using filters and selection masks, I was able to successfully manipulate textures and colours to adjust the subjects' appearance into one of a superhero. hen came the challenge of placing the designed assets onto 3D models. I was familiar with texturing due to prior experience in Game Design, but not familiar with the software. First I had to figure out how to place and adjust the size of objects, then I had to figure out how and where to apply the images to display properly. I eventually did by figuring out that each asset had a dedicated area to apply textures to them. Then, after adjusting some lighting settings, I figured out how to successfully render still images of the model, as shown below.

Tools Used: Photoshop and Dimension
