Copy

I started my copy and emulate task by browsing through pinterest and trying to find 60's gig posters that are similar to my theme that involved a number of processes that I could try out myself. So, first I found the image I wanted to copy...

I then drew it in pencil, scanned it into Illustrator and started tracing it using the 'trace' tool and upping the threshold so it is all strong black and white so it is easier to work with on photoshop.

Once I had traced the image I coloured it in a dark green colour, similar to the image I am copying.

I then opened the image in photoshop and coloured the white in a light yellow/green colour similar to the original picture. I also used the eraser tool and got rid of the sun rays next to the face in my copy because it wasn't picking up very well on photoshop, so I removed it and re-drew it with the line tool in photoshop, and coloured it light green like the original.

I then got the shape tool and selected the circle shape and started to add some yellow dots onto the hair like the original, I reduced the opacity of the coloured circles so they are more subtle like the original. This is my final copy.
