2010/2011 UofL Theatre Season Poster Designs

Here's what I've been working on in my Letterforms Directed Study. So far I've done the assignment with the rest of the class but now that I have made some fairly killer content, I'm going to animate it with After Effects.

The original assignment was a 4 piece poster series for the University of Louisville Theatre Season.  These posters promote each show specifically, but follow one design concept that advertises them in a series.

By keeping certain design elements throughout, such as the hand-drawn look, the palette, the theme of "hands" and the fonts, I traveled fluidly through the season within my design.

Finally, I wanted to create four pieces that After Effects could easily move through in real time with a "cemera." So I kept the movement of the gold lines and text in such a way that the design sort of continues from left to right through the season. When I finish the After Effects promo I will post the final result. That's the part I'm really still learning...

Drawing Again!

I did this freehand with my tablet in Photoshop. I think I'm getting better at drawing with the tablet and photoshop. Big props up to Rush and Jon Paul for showing me that drawing could be done beautifully and digitally at the same time. This drawing is for a poster design for Leslie's Letterforms class/my independent study. Eventually After Effects will come into play. But for now, I'm excited about my drawing. Woot!
