Here's what the final posters look like! I'm really proud of the out come of these, especially after the struggles i've had in the past emulating analogous vibes using digital media!
I think im starting to hit the right sort of relationship with type now - My hand drawn type is definately improving, and Avenir as a typeface generally suits my work well whilst still keeping it looking professional and refined.
My method of acchieving the texture was to intially create a large digital sheet, which I then used the lasso to cut from. I've used this technique before a lot last year in level 4, but using analogous texture i'd scanned in. The end product of using the digital textures has all the look and feel of the analogue ones, whilst still being clean enough for it not to require hours of clean-up with the stamp tool, which is great!
This is what the textures look like on their own. I don't think theres a great difference between these and the analogue ones, to be fair - If I need another colour, I just change the hue and saturation. I add detail to them using the other textured brushes that I have - which ends up leaving a really authentic looking aesthetic.
In terms of the content, though - people really liked the layout, the way that the pictures worked with the type and they thought that it suited the information being relayed well. A lot of people commented on how slick they thought the posters were - which was LOVELY to hear after a long time missing the mark with the final outcomes of briefs! I personally thing I could have maybe done more with them, as they look a bit too 'basic' - but I think as well the simplicity and the straightforwardness is the best for getting the information across.
