Football Game Inspired Photobook

Have you ever been to a game and wishing everybody in the audience could just be there to celebrate your birthday or your kids birthday?  that exactly what happen to me. I recently went to a college football game, the stadium was fill with more than 112,000 people.  -Now that is a crow! Once in a while, the camera would focus on a single person during game  downtime to entertain the crow.  At some point I just taught that it would be super cool if all these people were there to celebrate my kid birthday. I guess that would be a super crazy birthday party and would definitely make news.  Until that fantasy comes true,  I decided to materialize it in my photobook.

Illustrated Photobook

In this post I am showing how I created two pages of an  illustrated photobook.  I incorporated actual pictures with some illustrations. The end goal was to make something fun to look at for both kids and adults. In addition, this photobook can be used as a learning material.

Most elements on this first page are  illustrations. I took pictures of cubs at the local zoo which I  cropped and changed the background to white so that it fit the other elements on the page. I applied the same procedure on the picture of the girl. Finally, I merged all pictures including illustrations in photoshop.
