Cad development

As i was not fully satisfied with my design on paper, I decided to produce a computer aided design of the pin up to se wether or not it was better or worse. To do this I scanned in my pen drawing of the pin up lady and simply traced over the packaging first, I had a lot of trouble doing this for some reason, I musn't of have my design brain on whilst I was doing it cause I deleted about 30 of these for the simplistic of mistakes. After the design was complete I added some colour via photoshop and added some texture on the packaging to make it pop a little.


Then it was time for the body, yet again another one that took me a very long time as I wasn't satisfied with the outcome no matter what. I first dre out the background shilouette then drew in areas of shading.

Then I combine them together to get an almost 3D effect. I wanted to layer this up wit lots of detail but I don't have the time to do so, which is why I decided to dumb it down and keep it as simplistic as I possibly could.

Then I took the finished image of pin up one into photoshop for a play around with the tones to add a little depth.

Again I was not satisfied, I wasn't convinced she was attractive enough for some reason, but that's because I was being over critical on my work and needed to cut my self a break and stop picking little points out, as I mentioned I have a limited time scale and am not paining the mona lisa. It came to my attention that colour may not be the way forward. So I coloured one in in black and white and compared the two.

I did prefair the black and white pin up to the colour but I wasn't sure why. I decided to try some template examles using both of them and see which looked the best on the digital template of the machine. I found ot that the black one looks a lot more intereting and older fashioned.

Where as the colour pin up looks out of place on some backgrounds. I wan to use a light kind of sky blue as my backing colour or at least to experiment with as well as the b/w pin up woman as I think it looks a lot better and more relevant to the coloured one.

However here is an image of both pin ups on a sky blue background which I would like to use as the backing colour. the colour one has to much going on and distracts attention from it's self where as the black and white pin up has a cisual hook leading from her head to the product and the productis the last thing tha sticks in the mind of the viewer which is what I want to do if I am making Kleenex's image more appealing for men.

Layout was the final concern, I played around wit a few layouts which could be considered but they all didn't look right as they cut off to much of the image, were streched, placed in a silly place and took away from what they wanted to do. Whereas the first one scalesall the image in, and is in a subliminal place, it isn't screaming to be seen which makes it worth seeing that extra bit more.

I beliveI wold like touse this woman pin up as packaging for the male tissues or perhaps a witty quote, again something that I have to conduct some experimentation on.
