Probably my favourite out of all of the postcards i've done for this - I just really like the outcome of it and the colours and the wraught iron really sings 'art nouveau' and thats super crucial for creating work about the Paris Metro.
Much in the same vein as the last postcard - I worked on the sign large, placing the area I wanted to be cropped into the area of the artboard (this is really good for creating extra elements and then placing them back onto the canvas)
Unlike Helvetica, I couldnt find a decent example of the Metro font at all so I simply hand-drew the letters using the pen and shape tools. The Wrought Iron frame was simply made using various widths of the pen tool - the curve of the frame made by warping it using the stretch and skew tools. Simple stuff - I'm really pleased with it as a final though.
