"sketchbook"

Final sketch, although the colors are way off due to uploading issues that I cannot figure out how to resolve.

I have always been inspired by capturing the moment when it comes to photography. In my final project i would like to create an advertisement/poster for an event that my friend is holding in Pittsburgh this summer that involves several companies that make new-age pogo sticks.

Instead of being powered by springs some of these newer pogo sticks are powered by thick rubber bands that expand and contract to propel the jumper. People can reach heights of up to 7 or 8 feet on some sticks, such as the "Flybar." My friend's event is sponsored by this company, others like it, and the city of Pittsburgh, and will bring jumpers literally from around the world to participate. 

     

Here is an example of some of the preliminary work that I have done in photoshop on my original image. This is not what the final project will look like completely, there will be other elements, but this helped me with the process of altering the original image in the way that I wanted to.

The final will also have manipulated images of the yellow bridge in Pittsburgh that spans the river (The name of the Bridge escapes me) and images of the RPG Building (below).

    

    

Finally, since I intend to use this as a form of advertisement I will probably need the event name and a little information about the event (Date, location, etc.) I want to combine all of this into a 3-5 color screen print, possibly with some parts printed digitally although I think that it will be more unified if the whole thing is screen-printed.
