Producing a Flyer

For this DL flyer I had insert different images into Adobe Illustrator including a traced map pf Dubbo. To do this I had to open a copy of the map in Illustrator and use different layers to trace the different parts of the map, such as the roads and the fill.

Tracing a map

I traced a map of Tasmania in Adobe Illustrator to achieve the outline of the land and then trace the main roads. I then marked the big cities and coloured in the appropriate areas such as blue for the ocean, green for land, and brown for mountains/terrain.

Textures using Photoshop Filters

I used the most colourful gradient and the plastic wrap filter. I thought that this ties in well with the flashy colourful materialistic items that are the norm in contemporary society.
