Gig poster – Feldspar
I did a set of gig posters, each based on a phone doodle. Then I did a version of each without the doodle with more emphasis on the type. Both versions shown above.
How did I get to version 2?
- Kept the typeface.
- Kept the doodle, which is cheating, I know.
I was quite happy with the original although I should’ve removed the ‘£5’ circle, which is clumsy, anchoring the image when it should be floating free.
The second poster is version 2.5. I’d originally dropped the image, as planned, and changed a few things but it was boring. So, the image stays with the (weak) excuse that it’s now a background pattern. It’s (obviously) a more arresting poster with the image than it could be without it. That’s the important thing.
The halftone (dot) effect unifies the text and background and adds interest.1
