Photo Manipulation x3

It's been a while and I haven't showed you any more photos I've manipulated. I must say, it's always fun to see what the image was and what it became.

So here I give you three examples of images I've worked on recently.

Turbine Man

Similar to the previous. For this image, done for Cabrera Auto, I used several stock images and my illustrative skills. The sky, some of the green area, the man, the car, the sign and the turbine were separate images. The road and some of the green areas were drawn by me.

Rocket Man

This was done for Cabrera Auto. One of the clients, Jorge Blanco & Asociados has and I had the pleasure of working on. I used a shot of the dealership we had, and several stock images for the rest. The man, the rocket, the fire and smoke were separate images.

Diversión Pura

Searching the official Suzuki assets gallery for images that could be used for print media, I found this shot of a Grand Vitara in a river and the setting reminded me of El Yunque. So I went ahead and downloaded it. After a few minutes, "Having Fun" was the only thought that had stayed on my mind by just looking at the photo, so that's what I wrote. "Pure Fun".

This is the starting image

Suzuki's First "Buy Back Mundial"

After the Huge success their original BuyBack was, Suzuki del Caribe decided to offer those same benefits to every make out there, not just Suzuki owners. They needed a new website that expressed the "global" theme., while keeping the registry friendly enough so that car owners could register to have their car bought by Suzuki (no matter the Brand) and at the same time, entering a raffle for some cool prizes.

I had the opportunity to Team up with two friends to work on this project. I had a blast!

New Year's Resolution

A few weeks before 2011 ended, I found myself working on several designs that would become the look for many clients on 2012. Some saw the light of day and quickly got approved. Some were shown to the client and suffered a sudden death, while others never left the office. These are one of the latter.

The idea behind the design was to show our clients what they should list as one of the resolutions for the (then) upcoming New Year.

I felt the idea was strong and an eye stopper for anyone breezing through the newspaper. At the end, the idea was shot down internally because of the name. Apparently there's a dealership that has a similar name (as the campaign). Who knows, maybe in the future we'll get to use it with a different name.
