That's Punny

For this project we had to do four visual puns. I chose to do (from the top) deviled eggs, serial killer, Dr. Pepper, and bookworm. I was inspired for the deviled eggs by eggs mad about the things used to cook eggs. The eggs are rebelling around the kitchen. This was the first visual pun I did. I think it turned out great. My only problem is that you cant see the egg's legs that are on the floor very well. I also used the posterize on the egg plate...which I didn't even know was a thing. It added depth and a really cool looking plate.

My second visual pun was the serial killer...which translated to cereal killer. This might not make sense to some until they look at it a bit longer. I took all the major cereal mascots and put them on or below the table where The Crispie Brothers and Frankenberry were murdered. I was inspired by Clue. I wish my canvas size could have been larger but I think I did a good job fitting everything I wanted to fit in there. My Clue has a lot more options though because there are more characters than the board game. While there are only two murder weapons all the characters have an even chance to be the murderer. I used the threshold technique on Frankenberry and the Crispie Brothers to show that they were murdered by loosing their color.

My next pun is Dr. Pepper, which as everyone knows is a soda. I made the pepper a doctor! I added a bit of humor if you know anything about peppers because the habanero pepper is known to be the hottest pepper around...and he feels hot...get it? Anyway the jalapeno pepper feels like he is going to get chopped up and put in salsa...because thats what usually happens. I used the gradient tool for the little peppers on the side of his family practice sign. I also used the overlay on the paintings of the peppers on his wall. It says la pimienta, which in spanish means pepper. I really like this one.

For my last pun I decided to do a bookworm. I was inspired by all of the books that I used to read as a child. So I went to Barnes & Noble and looked up almost ALL the books that were my favorites. I REALLY like this one because it made me look back and remember all the books that I read. I found a really cool bookcase and at first it was way too busy with the caterpillar and the bookshelf. So I created a boarder around the caterpillar to make it stand out and make the books on the caterpillar (which if you hadn't noticed is from the hungry caterpillar) stand out.

I really liked this project. I think it has been my favorite so far. :)
