Training Schedule Graphic

So I had to make a graphic for the company website that reflected schedules for classes.  They liked the idea of clocks and calendars, and they preferred to keep it realistic by manipulating stock images.  Through Photoshop and stock photography, I created a graphic that made it look like it was falling out from behind the text "block/card" or out of a cut in the webpage.  There was another version, as well, using 3DS Max, but this is the one that was decided upon.

The Million Dollar Challenge

This is one of many of the front title pages for The Million Dollar Challenge game made for e-Learning languages.  Each version has the currency associated with the language, but Arabic is particularly tricky because there are so many countries that speak the common form of Arabic.  To remedy this, a bill or coin from each country is taken and put into the bottom right corner, where the currency always is placed, and in place of the bill on the top above the title, I took a picture of some artwork from the region and outlined some of it to create a mandala sort of graphic to decorate the blank area. In order to make the design, Illustrator was utilized as well as Photoshop.  Below, however, you can see the traditional look to this graphic throughout the several languages this graphic has been used for, created in the same general way, in order to keep a uniform appearance:

Spanish (With Euros)













Chinese













Russian
