With my Dungeons and Dragons party
This was super fun to make, though we had a myriad of technical difficulties that left me scrabling to get it done, so though it isn’t the best I could have done, I think it’s alright considering the circumstances.
I know I got a number of odd looks from outsiders as I edited my friends to resemble their D&D characters, but the excitement that they showed for the project made it truly worth it.
So I originally photographed each of my friends and edited them in seperate photoshop documents. (And that was the bulk of the work). You can see each of them as their characters in the poster. I’m actually in the poster twice, as I took the spot of Gandalf (because I’m the Dungeon Master for this party), as well as the half-elf in the very back, who’s an NPC that I run that my party’s gotten very attatched to (his name is Flint).
Assembling this in InDesign was honestly a disaster, as I wan’t too familiar with the program, and I was scrambling to just get it done. However, each part of the poster (including my hand painted backgrounds and text), exitsts on its own layer, inside its own frame as this helps to isolate each piece and makes it easier to make smaller adjustments wihtout harming anything else in the piece. I would have done more with the text and layout, had I had more time, but I simply threw some filler text at the bottom and called it close enough.
