I decided to make a horizontal banner-style poster as opposed to a portrait-style one for this assignment. I ended up deciding on San Antonio, as while I’m not from there specifically, I grew up in Texas and loves our visits to the city. The food there was awesome, the Alamo was a nice place, and the canoe rides were fantastic, so I have fond memories of there.
I mainly used GIMP for this assignment, as that’s the primary photo editing software that I use. I use the Oilify artistic filter to make it look like, well, an oil painting, then replaced the background with almost a sunset gradient. Finally, I put in the location’s text in the back with it being partially behind the city’s horizon. There’s not much more to say, it’s not a very complex image.
