IMAGING 10 – 13/03/2020 – SHRUTI MA’AM

Each of us’ cover page and back page were reviewed in this session.

Cover Page

I wanted a complete ancient and vintage theme for my coffee table booklet, with topic of not just my timeline I did in History, but I wanted to add broader topics/aspects to this like Ancient Architecture, art, culture and tradition, sculptures, pottery, etc. This idea brought me to a conclusion for my cover page.

I decided to design a mandala (which is known to be an ancient art), with not the general patterns, but the aspects of various civilisations as its elements.

I’ve done this on **illustrator**, using **pen tool** to trace the elements inside the mandala, and the **shape tool** to make the concentric circles.

These are the **references** I used to trace my elements in mandala.

Since I decided to work with a complete vintage theme, I thought this colour scheme would perfectly go with it.

I tried using this background because I thought it would go with the colour scheme.

I then transferred the illustrator file to **Photoshop**, and applied a vintage filter to it (**Hue/Saturation**)

Faculty asked me to change the background colour, and apply some texture to it, which would make it look realistic. Hence, I came up with the following options.
