The other part of the Cold Power job. A photo illustration using all sorts of royalty free images that I had to buy and some of my own photography so that I could get close to the visual presented. This type of work is more a retouchers type of thing, but they get illustrators to do it because it is supposed that illustrators have a higher set of image making skills....but I don't think that is so. This sort of stuff pays the bills, but we would rather use our drawing skills.
This is a photo illustration of the last Cold Power wave I did for Colgate Palmolive. The design firm in question has modified it slightly since but generally it has remained the same. One job that I may never have to revisit again. thankfully.
Something that I have done a few times now is produce the master image for Colgate Palmolive's Cold Power range. This time through the Branding House. I have done it three times now over the last 12 years. Quite appropriate for a surfer I think. This time employing the photo illustration ability of photoshop to design and execute. This image was the middle version. I may post the latest version a bit later.
