Practice Practice Practice

So this was my second try on Illustrator. It is still far from what I want my poster to look like, but I think that I'm slowly starting to get a bit of a feeling for the programs. 

I experimented a bit with different colors in these posters. I mainly focused on pink and yellow though, but I'm thinking about trying out other contrasting colors such as blue and red for example. 

Moreover, I will try to use different backgrounds, because I think that with the simple black or white background, the posters still look a bit boring. 

First Try!

 So as one can see, I messed around a bit with Photoshop and Illustrator. 

 I know that these are no masterpieces, but I think that for my first time ever working with one of those softwares, these posters are not that bad after all! 

But I have to admit that I had quite a lot of trouble figuring out how to deal with the programs! 

I did these two posters on Illustrator, because I used quite a lot of different layers ( especially for the first one) and had some problems dealing with the layer tool on Photoshop. 

Personally, I prefer the second poster, because it is a bit more decent and still has something extraordinary due to the letters 'falling' into each other. 

Inspiration

Already a couple of weeks ago, I started to look for some inspiration for my poster on Tumblr. 

By that time I had no idea what I was actually looking for, but as I found quite a lot of posters using a variety of colors I immediately knew that I wanted to do something alike. 

As you can see, most of these examples are very simplistic, but I think that it is this simplicity that makes them eye catchers. 

This last one, probably inspired me the most. 

I really like the use of different colors and layers and  the transparency of the letters.
