The Icon of 20th Century
design art by: K-Statik
Process:
- This picture was actually done twice cause i could not clear the first image license.
I'm happy i did so, because color of the latter were much more vivid. No pictures of the
former version cause the photo is still unlicensed.
- Image of rubberduck from http://budgetstockphoto.com was acquired, courtesy of
http://budgetstockphoto.com (Could have used the duck.3ds but decided this would not
give the gritty poster image I wanted)
- Basic cropping/Masking was done on photo with multiple photoshop selection tools.
- Duck was then posterized by brutally dropping out colors, using handmade posterpalette and then using replace
color to finetune some parts.
- Many hours of photoshopping, beer, cigarettes and white wine was used to finally achieve
some balanced look. (Getting a color from palette is one thing, Getting a color you want from palette is another,
Getting the color you want by using color mixer and retint, thats a bitch)
Afterthoughts:
- Should have been made to A3/150dpi originally, as now I can't print this :(
