To add to the page design in an unintrusive way, I wanted to create shapes (like those seen above) in Adobe Illustrator to overlay or underlay photographs. Having never used the programme before, I went to one of John's lessons and he taught me the very basics. I expanded my knowledge by watching several Youtube tutorials in order to help me achieve my desired result.
This was my first trial, I used the pen tool to trace over an image that I found online. We just selected a random image for the trial while I got used to using the programme.
To create my final outcome, I used this image of one of the products in the photograph and traced over it with the pen tool. I wanted to create a really 'sketchlike' drawing, as seen in my inspiration images, I added in extra lines of a shorter length to give it a rougher appearance. Below is my final outcome for the page. I transferred the vector to photoshop and overlaid it on itself several times, enhansing the sketch like appearance. I chose to underlay it as opposed to overlaying it as I felt this approach was more subtle yet still effective.
