Adding the Y-FRONTS.

Open publication - Free publishing - More ougd301

Adding the relevant YFRONT illustration. Here I tried out different compositions
and also added colour.

At the end I settled for the attention to be solely on the quote and the Yfronts are an added touch for humour.

I also realised I have not included the person behind the quote.

Banner

Again, experimenting with more added elements.
Keeping with the traditional theme, I decided to add a banner.

After trying out the banner I think I prefer the type without banners. Not only does it clutter things up it's also quite cliche.

Experimenting with colour.

These are my current favourites. They vary from a 2 colour screen print to a 3 colour.
I've also sorted out the leading and alignment issues out.

Spotting other mistakes.

Whilst changing the colours and experimenting with scale, I've noticed these little gaps (I'm guessing they're from when I extended the shapes)

They're really really thin and quite hard to notice but seeing as I'm going to be screen printing these on quite a large scale I need to make sure it's solid black.


To fix this I moved the AFTERLIFE to a new layer and selected all the black using the magic wand tool.

I then deleted the black background.

Pasted it back but arranged it to the back

And after clicking the UNITE pathfinder, it covered up the cracks. I'm not 100% sure why but it's a great result.

Colour.


As I've come to find throughout the 3 years, colour can drastically change the meaning / impact
of a word or a statement. Seeing as I've designed the statement to be very strong visually, I
experimented using strong, primary colours.

EDIT - Just noticed some alignment issues regarding the 3D type. The E overhangs slightly. So that needs sorting!
