"Friends do make a difference"

2020-21 "Respect for All" Anti-Bullying Poster.
Theme: "Friends do make a difference"
Another project for my graphic communications class. I improved upon what I handed in for my class and ended up with this. I used various radial gradients as well as freeform gradients to create the background and "aura" for the characters. I utilised the complementary colors yellow and purple also to clearly define good vs. bad. I used the pen tool to trace my original rough layout of the poster and added more using illustrator.
