This is the proper poster. The first one is the "draft" of sorts. The poster took me awhile, but I am very proud of my work. I used the an early 1900 photograph of Dartmouth Campus as the background. My great-grandfather went to Dartmouth in 1903 and graduated in 1907, so I thought it was appropo. I then placed a picture of Howard University Omega Psi Phi men on my poster and altered the opacity. I added this because my great-grandfather was a founder of this fraternity. Then I placed two pictures of my great-grandfather and used the mask tool to only take the portion of the photos that I wanted. I think this is some of my best masking work. I changed the color range and used made the edges smooth and feathery. I also used an old type microscope and used the mask tool to cut out only the microscope from the picture. This fit because Ernest E. Just was a scientist. For my last picture, I placed a picture of my lovely grandmother, Maribel Just Butler, and my father, showing the generations that followed my great-grandfather. I used the mask tool for this picture as well and it came out nicely. I also made the picture brighter. After the pictures, I exited Photoshop and went to Adobe Illustrator. This is where I added my text. I used the Effect > Warp tools to alter the text. I also added a quote of my great-grandfather. I am quite content with my poster. I wish to print it out and hang it in a frame at the house. I think that that would be nice. I hope you enjoy my poster:)
