Copy

I created this copy mainly using the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator, an example of this being used in my work can be seen below. I drew out the different landmarks and then went around the outline of the landmarks with the pen tool. When I had finished the outline I then added colour to make it a silhouetted image, just like in the original piece. I then placed the image into a Photoshop document and built it up from there.

I began to add other land marks including the a silhouetted image of the houses of parliament. 

I then drew a large blue rectangle and placed it behind the landmark shapes. I used the fx tool to add a slight gradient to the shape, which resembled the slight colour change in the background of the original piece. I also used the paint brush tool, to create a cloud, similar to the one in the original. I gently dotted the paintbrush over the top edge of a large block of white I had already done with the paintbrush, in order to get that 'fluffy cloud' effect to the image. I also began to work on the top title, by adding in some embellishments which I had found online, which were similar to the ones which were in the title of the original. 

I then used the shape tool, to add some lines behind the embellishments, also similar to the original. Finally I finished it off by added the 'BRITAIN', suing a similar typeface, that I had found on Dafont.com.

This is the original piece.

This is my version of the original.
