Superdry Advert


This is the superdry advert I have designed. All of the photographs were taken by me of my clothes. I wanted to capture all the interesing textures, colours and designs superdry have to offer.

Photo-manipulation DPS


For my DPS on Photo Manipulation I experimented with creating my own grids and settled on using a 4x4 grid as this gave me enough versatility to use horizontal and vertical orientated images.


The first block of text was copied from http://www.litconline.com/arts-and-artists/the-art-of-photo-manipulation/ and the rest of the text I wrote myself.

Photo-manipulation Title

The first thing that came to mind when I thought of photo manipulation was Photoshop so I wanted to create a Photoshop themed title for my DPS. I considered using bounding boxes, icons such as clonestamp etc. and then I realised that Photoshop's icon itself would be recognisable enough.
Photoshop CS5
So I started to create my own version.
By using the original logo as a reference for design and colour it was relatively easy to emulate the style. 

The front panel uses a dark blue gradient

The side panel uses a darker blue gradient

The back panel is a solid light blue
The font used in the original is called Adobe Clean but it is limited for use by the Adobe Corporation only so I used a very similar font called Myriad Pro Semibold. The text uses a light blue gradient and a slight vertical bevel and emboss.


Here is my final logo with a slight drop shadow like the original.
