Yoga Mats with Palm Tree Designs |
I really liked the photographs, especially when I started to play around with them, creating what we graphic designers used to call "line drop-out" effects (giving the images a posterised style, at the most extreme almost like a silhouette).
Altering the Colours with Imaging Software
Having posterised the images, I was able to create a number of different colour versions using Photoshop. The colour would be changed by converting to a monotone, and then specifying what that colour was. I could also add a background colour. I created a series of images, some with backgrounds, and some without, having just a plain white background.Adding the Images to Yoga Mats
I had created these images as large file sizes, so they would replicate easily on some of the bigger items that I would be utilising on Zazzle. One of the items I felt appropriate was the Yoga Mat. In fact I created a collection of designs, some of which included the option to personalise with a name.Yoga Mat in Green and White, with Owner's Name |
Yoga Mats with Variations in Colour
I used the different colour versions of my palm trees image to create a range of Yoga Mats. Here are several more examples.Yoga Mat in Black and White |
Yoga Mat in Red and Yellow, with Name in White
I also created a version of the posterised photograph with a greater number of colours, although still limited. I thought this one looked quite effective. What do you think?
