Craft: I used alot of gradients in this project. To make the shoes look like they had shine I used a gradient and feathered it. To give the cover some kind of depth I used a black and white gradient at the bottom of it to make it look kinda shadowed.
Composition: I just took one layer at a time and started to add details. Layering it helped tremendously cause all I would have to do was take an individual piece and add the detail. I just experimented with the different effects and found that the gradient tool and feathering worked the best.
Concept: I wanted to show that everything in the picture was earned from the stripes down to the shoes. We would have to shine our boots and shoes everyday in the military so I really wanted to show that in the artwork. Every detail in the picture symbolizes something like the blood stripe down the pants represents fallen Marines and the eagle, globe and anchor on the cover represents what the Marines stand for.
