GRID SYSTEM

Another typographic poster from my Summer to-do list.
I do enjoy dabbling in Graphic Design, however a dragging lecture prompted a short sentiment.

No offence to Schweiz, the creators of, or utilisers of the grid system. In fact, it's a very interesting and useful concept. (You can even see I've paid a little homage its origin with a cute little Swiss cross on the bottom).

Created in Adobe Illustrator and edited in Adobe Photoshop.

 

TOP: Black & white

BOTTOM: Eggshell texture "multiply" 35% in Photoshop

YO.

Made using the hand I pen-tooled from my last typograhic poster.

Word up.

 

Combining all 3 colours: 

MOTIVATION

So, I've made myself a list of posters to do in Illustrator over the Summer.

And this is one of them. So motivational.

 

Left: Solid colour in Illustrator

Centre: Crumpled paper texture at 50% opacity

Right: "Fawn" texture at 25% opacity

TIM BENDZKO

Just a quick little thing (yet again) whipped up in Photoshop. This time I played around with two different textures: watercolour and crumpled papers.

I love the album Wenn Worte meine Sprache wären. Just beautiful.

 

Above: Crumpled Paper

 

Middle and Bottom: 30% Watercolour Paper & 50% Watercolour Paper

SPAß!

Just a little side-project using typography, colour and pattern.
*Spaß! (Deutsch) = Fun! (Englisch)

Made in Photoshop CS6. Sizes: 30cm x 30cm. Font: Impact.

TECHNICOLOUR:

Here I used a white brush and magic wand to get rid of some polygons

(#3 has a few missing in the body of polygons)

ALL HAIL BEARS

I finally got round to doing another poster after a bit of project work. The concept comes from love of awesomeness of bears shared by myself and one of my sisters.

I re-used the banner from "EINMAL UM DIE WELT" and re-painted and masked out a bear face to make it look OBEY-esque.

Illustrator CS6 & Photoshop CS6

BAKKUSHAN & CRO

Developed even more typographic posters after class today.
This time with lyrics from "Baby, Du Siehst Gut Aus!" by Bakkushan and "Einmal um die Welt" by Cro.

Third version with grunge texture
(Leading on the first poster could do with a bit of work)

Second version with paper texture

Customised with panda mask pen tooled in Illustrator

PODCAST WORK

I did some work for a classmate's podcast this week and here are the outcomes.

PERSPECTIVE

I saw a pretty inspiring and awesome quote from Billy Talent's website the other day and decided to make a poster from what the lead singer said in an interview.

Used the colour of a blue/green to link with life in some cultures then added a texture in Photoshop.

BORN OF FIRE

Made another poster after class today for one of my flatmates with a phrase she said to me about herself in a conversation a while ago.

TYPOGRAPHIC POSTERS

After class today I wanted to make a couple of typographic posters in Adobe Illustrator using some lyrics. Here are the end results!

 

First 3: "Gewinner" by Clueso

Last: "Hanging by a Thread" by Billy Talent

OVERHEARD CONVERSATIONS

So our task for this week's discussion was typographically set-out illustrations of overheard conversations.
Seriously, I overheard nothing. Nada. Nichts. Rien. This was about the only thing I did overhear...because in a supermarket in England this is all you hear.

Enjoy it in all its simplicity.

AND YOU'LL NEVER GUESS...

...More bears.
Typograhic bears.

Parcel paper and Dutch sweet paperbag textures.
