Children's Illustration for Posters

Start by getting to know Luis San Vicente a little better. He talks about his professional career and his biggest influences. He explains why posters are a powerful communication tool and explains what the course consists of.

Train your eye to look for inspiration in your surroundings before delving into the history of illustrated posters. Analyze their physical and technical characteristics and study a few kids' drawings in order to get a better understanding of children's illustration. Then, practice lettering design for your poster's key words.

Determine the concept behind your piece and ask yourself what technique and style best suite the message you want to portray. Discover the importance of color before doing a sketch of your idea. Now it's time to move to Photoshop! Vectorize your illustration by adding color and texture with digital paint brushes and other tools. Next, work on typography to give your poster a personal touch.

Add informative and legal text before reviewing legibility. Check the contrast is adequate with color correction and prepare to print your file!
