Promotions for Homosexuality

For a college assignment, we had to promote any social cause. My team (two more people besides me) chose to promote awareness on homosexuality. For the same, we created a print ad (given below), 3 t-shirts and a promotional poster.
God is Bisexual

Our t-shirts can be seen in this pic:

Simpsons Live Action Movie

Hollywood seems hell bent on turning everything that’s ever worked into a movie-from pointless sequels to extend franchises well past their primes, to pointless adaptations of TV serials (like the one being mooted by John Stamos for Full House), to even more pointless and silly remakes. But, one series I really, really hope they don’t adapt is The Simpsons. The full length feature offered earlier, though decent, lacked that zing of a Simpsons episode. A live action movie will lose a lot of the impact of the cartoon show, and will just come across as a couple of people trying to be The Simpsons.

I came across fan art (actually, it was a graphic designer showcasing his Photoshop prowess) that has a pretty good poster for a Simpsons live action movie.

I don’t know whether it’s amazing casting, or amazing Photoshop, but everyone looks damn convincing in their roles! Especially Depp, Defoe, Buscemi and Clooney.

Photoshop Magazine Covers

Some magazine covers I created as part of our college assignments.

In this one, we just had to come up with a magazine cover for a fictional/existing magazine. I cam up with the following two options–both for a fictional monthly called MovieFever.

"Something" was missing...
Found what was missing--a wee bit of balance at the bottom! Easily fixed.

In the end, the second one won, because of a greater sense of balance present because of the small “Plus” at the bottom left hand corner.

In this assignment, we had to design a whole magazine. I did the front and back covers and all the layout work. I’m just putting up the front and back covers right now. Maybe, I’ll put up the magazine on a later date.

The magazine’s called Blik. Blik is dutch for ‘show’, or taking it loosely, ‘movie’. Why did we choose this name? Because it was short and catchy, and connected, albeit in a rather convoluted manner, to movies.

Front Cover of "Blik"
Back Cover--an ad for The Dark Knight DVD.

The whole idea behind the back cover is that the Joker character from The Dark Knight has vandalized the front cover–it’s catchy and conveys the message about the The Dark Knight DVD effectively…

Photoshop

Recently, found some great tutorials for Photoshop at PSDTuts.com and 3nhanced.com (and a couple of other places like this and this), and, since then, I have become addicted to Photoshop. So much so, that I have been going through these tutorials, when I should actually be studying/making my practical files/working on my computer project (which, by the way, is turning out to be a royal pain in the bum).
Well, here are some of the things I made. They are partly ripped off from the tutorials, and partly my own experiments.

And a couple of other images (which look like something out of Shrek, and can be used as backgrounds) which can be found here and here. They are basically the same pic, except for a light text box in the second one.
Some of the other stuff I made was crappier and so, I didn’t put it up here.
