well, where to I begin....what a challange it has been to re-design this crummy poster I chose off the web. There were lots of info which isn't too bad but the only way I could deal with it was to totally strip it back. During my travels I got really enthusastic about close up photography and got rather obsessed with textures. This train of thought worked kinda well though, as I wanted an earthy approach to my poster with just text. I attempted the writing in the sand bizo but that proved rather difficult- as clumps of sand formed around the letters. It was also hard to control spacing, forming the letters and keeping some uniform size- I know this approach was defiantely alot more organic but to have some control would of been nice...Anyway I took a photo, manipulated it slightly in photoshop then added type in illustrator. Im not really happy with the result, but got me thinking of using type with a textured background. I took some more photos of sand and rocks at the beach as a second thought which worked out well. I tried a few different versions, experimenting with distorted type and also handrawn with the mouse. I think I have worked solo for a bit long and know feel a bit confused as to which is working the best?? I also did a poster with just handrawn type- no background and it stands out quite alot?? Anyway I will leave it up to you to decide. Here are some pretty textures.....
