Art of Anthony Rigoni(Tony Yorkie Silky)

 After taking some helpful advice from my teacher, I took the liberty of creating outlines for the letters and ungrouping them so that they will be able to fit into the hat outlines. In addition, I have also added gradients to the objects and lowered the transparency so that the reader will be able to view the words. Thus, this is the final result for my poster. For the front cover of my portfolio, I decided to use one of my illustrations I Mae on Adobe Photoshop during my breaks in between classes.

I have chosen the top hat for this project because the top hat is considered to have an aura of fanciness whenever someone wears it at special occasions such as weddings. The colors that I have chosen for this hat are gray and black. I have also used Arial so that the viewer would be able to read. I have also designed the brim of the hat as well. For the poster, I have chosen the color purple for the background. I chose purple because the color purpose represents royalty and aristocracy. To add a dash of pizzazz, I have also added four-pointed stars so that the viewer would sense a feeling of magic. I have also added a tie, gloves and a cane and arranged them to make a triangular shape. The emphasis is on the hat, cane, gloves, and tie. I made a symmetrical balance for the gloves and the tie. I have created a pattern for the stars. The movement should focus on the articles of clothing and the cane. I have also shrunk and grown the stars in size to create repetition. The...

For the purpose of designing the poster, I have added the cane and the gloves to give the poster a ritzy touch. As a result, I drew the cane and the gloves. After I fixed a few mistakes, this is what the designs for the hat, the cane and the gloves currently look like. However, in order to make the words more readable to the viewer, I fixed the color of the top hat's top angle and made the letters look a little brighter. I have also made the sentence for the poster brighter for the viewer to see. I have also decided to add in a tie like the one pictured above. And this is the result after drawing the tie. With the addition of the tie, this is the current result of the poster that I worked on for the project. After listening to my teacher's lecture, I manipulated the letters in my top hat design and in the sentence of my poster. I have also changed the sentence in order to make sense to the viewer. To give the poster a little mo...

The History of the Top Hat A top hat is a tall, black hat with a flat crown and broad brim. A top hat is usually made out of silk with a disheveled base. Top hats were worn during weddings and other formal events. Top hats can also be known as high hats, stovepipe hats or silk hats. The first types of top hats were made out of cheesecloth, flannel, linen, and shellacs. The top hat originated from England in 1797. On January 1797, the first person who wore a top hat going by the name of Hetherington caused quite a ruckus. When people saw Hetherington with his top hat, dogs were barking, children were crying and women fainted. In fact, a police officer even got involved and Hetherington was accused of disturbing the peace. I chose the top hat because top hats represent the formality of an individual. It also gives a sense of aristocracy for my next project. When one wears a top hat, they can show how stylish and smart they look. It can also give the person wearing thei...
