A1 poster attempt

Flyer from Moseley Folk Festival 2012

 Marbled paper, unfortunately this surface was too wrinkled to successfully work into.

I found it difficult to cut into, i will try and resolve this issue by using stretched paper instead.



Second Poster

Pencil sketch of second poster proposal, inspired by Mosely Folk Festival's poster

I chose this poster because I liked the antiquey style and the centralized composition.

 Experimental marbling paper, sprinkling ink into a tray of water and then laying the paper on top. I thought this would give an interesting background for the second poster idea, which is the festival featuring the band.

 I used the marbled paper and cut out part of my design, i feel that this worked well but the serifs on the font were difficult to cut out. For my final design, i need to marble the paper and then stretch it to stop it from crinkling.

Experimenting with different coloured backgrounds.

Band Poster

A3 draft for band poster

A1, water coloured branches and moved the owl further down to give a cleaner and balanced composition.

Using a Fine liner, gave emphasis to serif lettering and printed two sizes of lino cut leaves to continue illustrative theme used on the vinyl.

T shirt and bag design

Fineliner, I kept the owl silhouette and added a folk style design that I found on Pinterest. Because this design is going onto the t shirts and bags, I had to think about sizing and positioning of the writing. I swapped it from the top of the wings to underneath the illustration. I intend to send this design to a professional printhouse to have it put onto a screen, so that I can have a good clean finish for my prints

This was the image I found so inspiring and it originates from New York artist, Thaneeya McArdle's blog
