Infography - A Graphic Designers Pipeline

Infography on a GraphicDesigner Pipeline

Oh well, here is my first Infographic Creation on the topic " Pipeline for a Graphic Designer". It is an assignment given to us. I give my thank's to Ratan Sir for this, as it help me in discovering so many new stuffs. It took me 2 nights to complete the designing. Long back i did my research on the steps which i can compromise and use. Finally found a perfect reference here. The next step here was the elements i am to used in representing the flow. I tried my best to do it on my own, meaning not to depend on easily available download icons. As we know there are more than enough icons and graphics available for use. I look for it though, since shapes were quite limited in Adobe Photoshop. The beautiful box on top containing heading Infography and at the bottom, that small box containing APPROVED are downloaded ( medialoot and pixedon ) and used. I claim no credits for those two. The rest are all customize and made in photoshop, plus the custom shape available in it are quite handy here. As this is my first creation it made me so happy, though it contain so many imperfections :D

Everything's gona be Okay !

Riryn Digital - mzote

Firstly, I would like to introduce the fonts i used in this art.
Signarita Zhai, Leftheria, Construthinvian, Dense, Vodka

And secondly into the sketching. The textures appearing here are obtained by applying filters as follow:

Inner t-shirt- FG -sponge

Top shirt- FG-rough pastel

Pants- FG-Film grain

Skin- add noise(very small amount)

Today in my post, I've attached the .psd file (download) in case it might be useful to anyone in any possible way.Here, you will be able to see the layers i worked on. 

The steps used in this project is as usual, firstly making an outline sketch from reference if available, round brush -hard and soft, dragging the opacity and flow when necessary, multiple layers for each and so on.

In the art is a composition of few lines dedicated to whoever feel lost, beaten, weak and down. It goes like this,

The world goes on, Time goes by, People come and go, Good days versus bad days. In the end nothing really matter. The only thing that matter, How you deal with what matters. EVERYTHING'S GONA BE ALRIGHT.Why the earth goes round and round ?, Trying hard to kick your butt, don't let it happen. HAVE FAITH.

I'm grateful i can make this work and post it though i'm quite unwell.It is the love of art which is driving me around i believe. And also Riryn, tq for the photo that i could work on.

Thank you readers !

Dreaming Of you, My Valentine

Dreaming of you, My Valentine by Immanuel L. Zote

Ten years or more from now,

I might depart for i do not know,

Neither do you.

Might i live to meet my soul mate, my valentine?

As for the moment blurred and indistinct, still you are.

Fervently and twitchy my life is spinning as such.

Yet i know you be the best gift of life,

You’d be the sweetest woman I know.

A loving mama, for our adoring children to be.

A fool i would be not to be thankful,

For each day of those lives i look upon.

Sometimes i imagine knowing you, maybe we’ve met i ought to recall.

But some are the times you are more unfamiliar to me.

I will love you so dearly, it’s true and i will be loved i dream.

Until that moment i will keep on dreaming,

Hoping to get a hold of you, on that very fine day i believe exist.

Till then my valentine, i wish you the best of your life.

When we thus meet it will thus be, grand.

As for now I’ll dream,

Dreaming of you, my valentine.

Justice For Nido

R.I.P Nido

Mother India, tell me what's going on.

The bloods flowing off my vein.

Can these be right?

One comes in and said, "oh boy! it's time to send you home".

and the next moment i'm on my way.

Maybe a few more years to Whazzup world !,

A few more rounds left for me and my buddies.

Can my hair color matter so much that i have to keep my life on the line for it?

Can or can not it point east, west, north or the south?

Does it ever occur to you that colors do not matter.

Are we less India for variation in our skin?

Above all are we all not human beings?

Capable to love and respect each other.

We all know so well that," One life is all we got".

From up here i shed my tears.

Along with my brothers long gone.

We pray for India.

For a brighter tomorrow.

R.I.P. Brother Nido Taniam

Peace be with the family and friends.

Baby Smile Illustration

Abstract Illustration- Baby Smile, with no regrets. Your smile some live for.

Quite long since the last update, anyhow today i am here posting an abstract concept.

Tools: Adobe Illustrator - making the shapes, curves (circles and rectangles)

Adobe Photoshop: giving colors and simply i prefer getting output from here.

The project is really fun to work with. At first i was a bit frustrated as things were tiny and confusing. But it goes on and yay !  It’s done. At college i was advice to work with my line quality and pressure control by my teacher during our Fundamental Class. So i start making strokes in various directions. I keep on doing the same and after sometime a thought come to me with a graphics visual with this kind of strokes and so i started making out on the paper and hence i started working it out in Photoshop at home. I decided the best way i can get multiple strokes is Ai. i use circles mostly, where i strike out which are unnecessary using Divide tool. So on, i started giving fill colors but I was not satisfied with the output i get from Ai and the next day which is today i export each layer and import them in Ps where i get what i wanted with the background i made using downloaded custom free brush. Also i made changes to some layers where i duplicate and reuse them in different position. And also i use the pen tool in Ps too like in when i decided the mouth to be curvy (previous idea was a rectangle) and many more.

I guess i have written quite a lot including unnecessary lines. I know. I just couldn't explain it much clearer, i guess it’s because it’s really simple.
