Faux Poster



Here is a phoney False poster to remind people for breathing air, I tried out a bit of a 50's illustration style in a vintage context. The man is just made out of simple shapes and lines, i think it realy lends itself to the 50's matchbox style of illustration I was aiming for. The poster is extremely simple and not very detailed, but I feel with a phoney poster such as this it doesn't need to be. I think it would run the risk of becoming too much on the screen if there was a lot going on, I tried to adopt more of a keep calm and carry on approach towards this.

I am quite pleased on how the font came out, if anything I think I enjoy the 'door to' letters more than 'hell' as they are more subtle and less overpowering than hell, also the little accents I placed upon each letter I think adorn the type nicely.  This alternative version was inspired by shadows dancing around a fire as it flickers, I researched a few videos of fire and noticed how light manipulates shadows when it comes from a single point. This alternative version just makes use of a the extra space and double layering of font colour, the red here is too bright for the picture really and should be a bit dull, more crimson like.  ...
