Creating a vector portrait from a photo is a rather easy process. I began with a photo recently taken at my brother’s wedding. I opened it in Adobe PhotoShop, cropped it, then added smart blur and poster edge filters. The filters simplified the details and decreased the number of colors.
I saved this file as a JPEG and placed it on a new document in Adobe Illustrator. Once in Illustrator it was just a matter of creating general shapes along the color lines created by the posterization. I made some minor adjustments, such as the color of my top, added the floral detailing and company name, Designed by Row, to finish it up.
