Changing ideas

In the last few weeks, I was thinking a lot about whether my initial idea to work with different typefaces and colors wouldn't be too easy. So I had a look at some other poster designs, hoping to find some other inspiration for my poster. 

However, I thought this poster looked very interesting, because of the different layers, the colors and the pixelated background. 

Of course this is completely different from my initial idea, but I think this is a bit more interesting than a simple white background with some letters on it. 

Furthermore, trying something completely different, gives me the opportunity to experiment a bit more with Photoshop and Illustrator and thus also learn how to use different tools and styles. 

So using the 'Drawn Together' poster as inspiration, I started thinking about how I could use this idea for my 'Brighton Digital Festival' poster and it came to my mind that it could be interesting to use a photo of the Bandstand as it is one of Brighton's famous landmarks. 

Working on this design, I really got a feeling for Illustrator and Photoshop and I found it particularly interesting to integrate a photograph into my poster. 

As you can see, I used the bandstand photograph twice in my poster, in the background in a very transparent rose tone, and in the foreground in black and white. 

I really like the fact that due to the different layers and levels of transparency, the pictures overlap at certain points. 

But although I'm already fond of this design, I think that I will continue experimenting and I will try to get even closer to the initial 'Drawn Together' poster inspiration.
