I put the image i wanted to use into photo shop and came up with my idea. I wanted the poker table to represent that they are both strong families, and my idea was to put there names Capulet and Montague on the back of the playing cards. My next idea was to give both families winning hands so it shows that one is not stronger than the other, they are both equal in competition.
I started with the basics first, i got the backgrounds in of the table and added the detail of the slots for the chips and the rims.
When it was time to put the cards on the table i found it really hard, i knew what i wanted to do but didn't know how to go about it. I researched winning hands in poker and gave them both one each, this was my own bit that i added to it, as this was not on the original picture.
This is my finished image and it cam out really well. I think it doesn't take long to get what the message is between the two families. The modern twist on it is that i used a poker table.

These are the two images i got, i felt they were relevant because it shows the love between two young lovers and how happy they are. I wanted to incorporate a sort of boom box into the image but it didn't look too right.
Here i have cut away the bottom of the image so its just the top halves of their body. Ive done the face the hair and the eyes on this screen shot. So I'm gradually getting there.
I added facial features to the image and softened some of the lines because some of them were a bit wonky.
This is my finished image. I like it but i know i could of put more effort in to making it better. It doesn't look as cartoon like now but i think it still send the message of love out there.

I have out the images i am going to use together as in image in photo shop. You can see the general idea of what I'm doing. I have drew a diary, and I'm going to write down the events leading up to Juliets death, for example her secret marriage to Romeo.
Ive now opened my starting image in Illustrator and started with the pen tool over the top of it. Ive done the background and started the basic diary layout for Juliet. Ive added text at the top and the line separators for the days of the week.
I added the days of the week under the lines so its easier to understand. I then added more text to make clear that Juliet married Romeo, I'm not sure whether to add more events to the other days yet.
This is now neary finished and I'm really pleased. I just need to add a few little extra details. I outlined the gun really well, and it fits in really well with the picture.
Image 4
The images i have chosen is to symbolise the fight between Mercutio and Tybalt. I put the images together in photo shop first and then placed it in Illustrator.
I started off by added a backgroudn to the image, i added a few more layers and drew the face and their bodies and their hair.
Here Tybalt is holding a gun, and i found it really hard to draw that bit. I could of taken a bit more time to get the lines smoother and straighter but i am not confident with Illustrator so i find it hard.
This is my finsised image, Ive not added too much detail front he original picture because i didn't want to make it too hard for myself. I chose this scene because i think its a key event in the story and it show the relationship between the two families that they don't get on.

I mocked these images up in photo shop to represent Romeo and Juliet getting married by Friar Lawrence. I wanted to put the church in the background to bring it up to date to modern times.
Ive not got my image in photo shop. i started off by doing the background first because they are the main parts of the picture that are layed at the back. I've outlined the Church in the background and iv started to draw the Friar.
At this point i have doen all 3 people that symbolise Roemo, Juliet and Friar Lawrence. I need to sharpen up the edges and add the last details to the background and the humans.

For my final image i've chosen the final scene where Romeo and Juliet commit suicide. This is the image i put together in photoshop.
Ive gave the image a basic plain back groumd, and drew the sillouhettes of Romeo and Juliet. I thought about putting the detail in the face but think it will give a much better effect not to.
Ive drawn the bottle with the chemical symbol on it to indicate that it is poison,a nd that this is what juliet has taken. I then drew a ticking clock, this is relevant but it shows that time ticks away and before you know it it is too late.
