  • 10 piece campaign progress

    I’m still at a standstill with my poster. I think I need some time away from it so I can attack with a new perspective. Right now I’ve gotten the website mock up done (below)

    The website mock up took ages! I had to make sure my colors were accessible. I used https://contrast-grid.eightshapes.com/. Something that challenged me was trying to place images into unorthodox shapes. To take my image to the arch shape, I had to turn the shape into a smart object and then place the image on top, before using a clipping mask. There has got to be an easier way lol.

    I also finished my social media lineup post. This is an imaginary campaign, so I made sure to include my dream lineup.

    I tried to make sure the artists matched the same vibe of music. I also hopped on spotify and made a playlist modeled after my lineup. That helped me find flow and before I knew it I had two pieces done!

  • poster progress update #3

    Last time we left I had a rough wip poster. I resketched a guitar for the bottom right frame. Then I took it into illustrator, image traced the guitar, etc.

    I liked the idea of it, but it just seemed off. The idea didn’t really look like what I had envisioned. I really like the tree, so I pivoted.

    I like the simple version better

    I like the second version, it still needs a finalized font for the dates. I want to experiment with some colors. Part of me wants to add more elements to the poster but I’m drawn to the simplicity.

    What do you guys think?

  • layout project progress: poster edition

    As I wrote in my last post, I am designing a 10 piece campaign for a music festival. I have finished the logo and stage banner. The current work in progress is the poster. I wanted the poster to be artsy, and be able to be hung on a wall. There’s the easy route of including all of the head liners, but I wanted a more fun approach.

    I started with a bunch of small sketches. Nothing really stood out to me. I really wanted to capture the atmosphere of the festival. It’s set in a small Iowa town with mainly indie and alternative artists. The past festival themes have been kinda folksy and hippie ish, or trendy. I wanted to have a ren faire adjacent theme. Something that felt homey, backroads, fun, and comforting.

    Initial poster ideas (as well as my dream lineup lol)
    More sketches!

    After a bunch of sketching and scouring Pinterest, I came across a cool frame/medieval banner template.

    After looking online for similar frames and borders, I had an idea. I wanted to include snapshots of the festival (the hinter tree, guitar, and a lineup) but in a framed way.

    This was my more finalized ROUGH sketch
    This is the current work in progress

    Right now, I’m in the process of editing the sketched snapshots, and finalizing color combos. The tree sketch isn’t my own work, it’s from the public domain. I found it on public.works. That’s a really cool site for images in the public domain.

    Thoughts? Concerns? Questions? Until next time!
