assignment number 14
A production artist will will the career for my poster. They aid the illustrator and designer in their work and they are also the ones to leave the work place last. Most of their work that they do is not credited towards them because they just check the other peoples work for imperfections, if the color mode is correct, and if the tittle, size and format are correct. For my sketch, i decided to put the career title at the top of the page. The descriptions for the page were just going down form the title and images of things production artists have made or designed mixed with the text going down. The website for more information is something i will put at the bottom.
