Rihanna's Poster Design

This design was based on Rihanna's portrait painting which I did for the Encounter brief above. I  created it because I wanted to describe my feeling when it had been effected by Rihanna's songs.  The reason why I decided to draw and paint  a portrait of Rihanna is because it gives me an opportunity to express my feeling through her  face.To finish the painting of I let the water colour run down showing the sadness expression between her and mine.
Although, for the poster designing part I placed two rectangle bars on top and bottom  of the image in order to avoid the information getting distracted too much by the painting. Making the poster stand out I used Rosewood Std font and worked around shading by using Blending options. This allowed me to find the right typography for the design.
