Gig poster – Phillip Flute

Gig poster. Original doodle version (left), type version (right)
I did a set of gig posters, each based on a phone doodle. Then I did a version of each without the doodle1 with more emphasis on the type. Both versions shown above.
How did I get from 1 to 2?
- Kept the font and the main colour (ish).
- Did something to make it more interesting than just making the type bigger and reversing it.
I did try writing the performer names out myself (this uses a font) but my lettering skills weren’t up to the result I wanted.
Fake!
The big addition here is the ‘fake’ inked-look, as if the thing was done with some slapdash linocut printing. The purple background is a scan of ink rolled onto paper and I’ve added a bit of ‘ink splatter’ onto the white lettering. To what end? That’s a good question. I may return to address it…
