The first poster was my original and the second is the recolored version. This project was due around the time of elections so I thought this topic was perfect. The different colors make the poster stand out more.
Using the gradient mesh tool, I have created a self portrait that I think looks pretty good. Because I was absent the day of this tutorial, it was a little hard to figure out but once I go the hang of it, it was fun to see how realistic it started to look.
