leg-endary

for my adbuster poster i chose to look at the superfluous use of cosmetic plastic surgery in modern north American culture. practically industrial in parts of north America especially California, cosmetic surgery has become a buzz word for the youth obsessed legions of the publicly rich and famous. although a confidential business by nature cosmetic surgery has become far more of a public industry than previously intended, as shown here by my overall theme the bar code branded onto the womans leg reprsents the industrial aspect of modern cosmetic surgery. i used airbrush like vector mask to show the intended result of the surgeries and the cotrasting type phrased reality

while making my wector trace and freehand artwork, my biggest concern was making sure the illustration looked 3D and not simply a divided curve. on the vector trace i used variety of line thicknesses and textures to enhance the beliveablity of the 3D shape, i used similar but less intensive processes on the sketch version.in coulor formats iwent with one normal and one abnormal colour scheme, normal on the trace for beliveability and a more pop art look on the sketch freehand because it went with the over all style of the design.
