I usually don’t get political… so I won’t (if only all Facebook posts that start this way would end like that as well).<\/p>\n

Anyway, with today being Election Day, I figured I’d share a quick project I was asked to do a few weeks back in Illustrator. Somebody I knew asked me to design a shirt that took after Obama’s Hope Poster and replace it with Donald Trump… and with a slightly different slogan. Below is the end result:<\/p>\n

\"Yep.\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the request of my friend, several slogans were used besides ‘Dope’- including Nope, Grope, Hate, Despair, and Loser.<\/p>\n

Politics aside, it was a fun project. It required some research (the original artist of the ‘Hope’ poster is Shepard Fairey). While I could have created the image in Photoshop, I ended up going with Illustrator. It took longer, but gave me more control with the color scheme.<\/p>\n

Since I use Illustrator sporadically,\u00c2\u00a0I always enjoy an opportunity to fine tune my skills with the program. One aspect of the project I particularly liked was the frequent use of ‘clipping masks’. It is a technique I used in a while but gave me the control I wanted over the skin tone colors.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I suppose it’s mandatory to remind people to go out and vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
