Release the Health Time Bomb!



Theme: No Phone Zone
Title: Release the Health Time Bomb!
Tagline: Don't let the phone harm your body!

Description:
This artwork illustrates the linkage between cellphone and human body in a unique way! The cellphone with radiation symbol in the human body symbolizes a cell phone is a harm to human and tends to tell that humans are like putting the health time bomb in our body everyday. With the concept of using Surrealism, unzip the human skin tends to create the unexpected feeling and brings out the message of putting away the phone is just like releasing the health time bomb.

First Design: Life? Phone? Intravenous Drip?

First Design:


Left:
first sketch. Drawn by free hand, typography in handwriting as well. Colored by Crayon.

Right:
Second sketch. test typography.
use the "Microsoft Word 2010" to edit the picture format, adjust the brightness +20%, contrast 0%.


Next, by using Adobe Photoshop CS5 "clone stamp tool" to remove the handwriting words and the NO PHONE ZONE's logo. I prefer to use "clone stamp tool" rather than "eraser tool" because I want to remain the similarity of the background color tone and avoid the differences. Use “BSBDF 50” as font face for the tagline.


Final.

Steps:
1) Place the original sketch into a new layout with a size of 16x20inches, 300Dpi . Remove the words by using "clone stamp tool". 


2) Use "Magic wand tool" to select the area. Use "Quick Mask" and use "Eraser tool" to erase the unwanted area. Click "Quick Mask" again to re-select the wanted area. 
Next, create a NEW LAYER and choose "Brush Tool" to recolor the selected area. Filter : Paint Daubs.

3) Using the same techniques as above to recolor for the rest of the parts in this design. Parts by parts filtered with different types of textures accordingly to the feel that I wanted to bring out.
