I've created a print ad on behalf of my local Legion, who is planning a big Grey Cup party this year. This is the low-res proof, fine to look at but not high-res for print.
The football players belong to a photo taken at last year's Grey Cup game, which was played here in Vancouver. The photo is courtesy the BC Lions, I did not take this picture.
I did run it through a number of Photoshop filters. Apart from Unsharp Mask, I try to avoid using a lot of filters since used the wrong way they can turn a decent picture into mush. Sometimes, though, an artist has to forge ahead. I used a heavy Unsharp Mask to get a high definition look, and then added a High-Pass Filter to increase the contrast without losing the gamut. Then, I used a Motion Blur to create the dynamic diagonals. I stripped the colour and overlaid a halftone pattern called "Linear", which I think adds a nice greyscale that should not turn into mud when photocopied.
