Project 3: Poster Final

As of today, this is the final cut to my poster. I don't feel like it's finished, though, so I want to go back when I have more time and fix some things. For example, The mask cut-out concept didn't work exactly as I planned, so I want to tweak it a little.

Still! I think as an exercise for figuring out how graphic designing works, I feel like I learned a lot.

Project 3: WIP

I've been working non-stop on the posters. It's taking such a long time! I'm trying to get the basic shapes blocked out on all the figures before I go in and do details.

Project 3: Sketches and Progress

These are the sketches that have been helping form my poster. For My Chemical Romance's Killjoy era, each killjoy has their own mask that represents them. In my poster, I want to use the bandits as the background image, and the masks in the foreground. In theory, the members will be in a washed out colour, like sepia, and the masks will be cutouts that will be kind of like a gateway into the true bright colours of the original pictures. 

This is the progress of the poster. At the top, it'll say "MY Chemical Romance: World Contamination Tour" and in the bottom section, below the picture will be the location, date, time, and ticket price.

Project 3: Subject Matter

So! I love posters. I love the idea of them, I love how cool they can look -- I am a definite fan. And if we're talking about band posters? I am all on board.

This is actually a project I've been really wanting to do! I'm not sure how I'm going to start out on the computer, as always, but when I start, I usually find my way around.

I'm going to do a poster for My Chemical Romance, when they stopped by here at the Tabernacle a few years back. They just disbanded this year, which sucks, but it would be nice to bring back some good memories. They played very well, and I have a fond recollection of the night.

Next post will contain some sketches, and the next after that should hopefully have some WIPS up!
