    Default Fever and Lewie Poster for Work Colleague

    Hi Folks,

    I hope I'm not clogging up this section of the forum showing off but I did promise I dig through some of my old stuff.

    This image was a poster I created for a former work-colleague using photographs of her beloved cat [Fever] and dog [Lewie]. I traced the photographs using Xara painstakingly by hand and then formatted them as shown.

    She did not know I was doing this and was overwhelmed. So much so that she asked me to create loads of images for Christmas presents for her friends and family and paid me a bit of cash for my time.

    I know it's a bit daft but I really enjoyed the finished product.

    Cheers
    David

    The dog is very well drawn, indeed.
    I like it.

    Hi All,

    Been looking again.

    I created this poster from a photo the same work-colleague [as in this thread] gave me of Fever her cat.

    It's simple but I really like the effect and look of the poster. My wife printed in high-quality [she's a part-time photographer] and my friend bought it and framed it and hanged it in her hallway.

    Cheers
    David

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
