It is a celebration day today with the Poster Design Number 200!
I can’t believe myself! I made two hundred posters. I like this number. To celebrate today’s poster, I decided to break the mini-series Universalis and celebrate with a well-elaborated design that I am in a hurry to introduce you.
The Design
There is a long time I didn’t use Illustrator to create a poster. I did today with the colorful form you can see on the design, the one I used as a background. I made this geometric form with several shapes that I traced with the pen tool. I changed the color of each piece and blended them with the Blend Tool. Later on, I changed anchor points of each form to get something smoother and finished it by applying the Warp Tool to get crazy lines. I tried many times until I get satisfied with the shape and how the colors overpass each other.
Then, I import the form in Photoshop, I duplicated it and applied a Pixelate Filter. I copy and paste some part and remove the rest. I duplicated small part again and place them in different areas of the canvas such as on the corners and behind the layer of the form.
To Finish the design; I added a large number “200” that I cutted and duplicated here and here. I also applied the Pixelate Filter on some parts. I played with the elements and quickly found a compelling style for my composition.
Speed Art Poster #198
It was a good day only because it was the poster number 200. Unfortunately, I had muchy trouble with the software Quicktime. It didn’t allow me to register some part of my process, such as the geometric and colorful form I used as a background. It was just impossible to save the video’s file on my computer due to an error. I still don’t understand what happens with Quicktime.
For that reason, you will miss some part of the process. Fortunately, I recorded most of the process with the speed art video. Hope you enjoy today’s design, and I meet you tomorrow for poster 201!
