Finished Wordplay project

This is my final version for the wordplay assignment. Since my last post i have made a few changes to improve the piece. The first thing i did was remove the red lines on the bottom of the letter forms as to create a more believable feeling of sinking. Next, i slightly increased the width of the letters and added in the circling seagulls. My last addition was to add the sun into the background to add a sense of depth to the piece. The majority of the poster was made with the pen tool and blob brush but i also used the pathfinder tool, text tool, gradient tool and the shape tool and draw inside option.
