How I made my type face poster

I started to design my type face poster by using the letters that I drew in my sketchbook and then scanning them onto the MacBook and selecting each letter I wanted and copying and pasting it into a new document.

I then had to decide on each letter that I wanted for my poster and start to re size and move the letters around until I was happy with the positioning. 


Then once I had finally decided on all of the letters I wanted to use for my poster...


I then repositioned, resized, and changed the colour of my letters. 


This is my final design for my type face poster.


EVALUATION

What went well? I found what went well whilst designing and making my type face posters was resizing, repositioning and changing the colour of each letter individually. I found that I managed to complete my poster quickly and easily.

What didn't go well? Deciding on which letter to use in my poster was what I thought didn't go well, because it took me a while to decide which letter to choose out of all the letters I had to choose from. I found it a bit more time consuming than it should of been.

What did you enjoy? I enjoyed picking different colours for each letter and making a gradient effect throughout the poster. I also enjoyed drawing the letters and coming up with different designs for each letter.

What didn't you enjoy? I enjoyed everything about making my posters, there was nothing that I found majorly difficult or didn't enjoy, I'm happy with my final design.

POSSIBLE SONG BOOK LYRICS

1. Frank Ocean - Swim Good
That's a pretty big trunk on my Lincoln town car, ain't it?
Big enough to take these broken hearts and put 'em in it
Now I'm driving 'round on the boulevard, trunk bleeding
And every time the cops pull me over, they don't ever see them
And I've got this black suit on
Roaming around like I'm ready for a funeral
Five more miles 'til the road runs out


2. Angels - Owl City
Through the glass in my bedroom window
In the bushes far below
I thought I saw an unfamiliar shadow
Among the ones I so clearly know

I was sleeping with the night light unplugged
With a note on the rocking chair
That says, "I've been dreaming of the life I once loved,
So wake me if you're out there."


3. Coldplay - Violet Hill
It was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow, white snow

Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below

4. Frank Ocean - Forrest Gump
My fingertips, and my lips, they burn
From the cigarettes
Forrest Gump, you run my mind boy
Running on my mind boy
Forrest Gump

I know you Forrest
I know you wouldn't hurt a beetle
But you're so buff, and so strong
I'm nervous Forrest

5. Blackout - Wretch 32
When the lights hurt my brain
Sometimes I pray for a blackout
When the candles are placed
Nothing more I crave than a blackout
Let there be no light
Let there be no light, 'til the sunrise
Let there be no light
Only then will I open my eyes
Let there be no light

6. Frank Ocean - Super Rich Kids
Too many bottles of this wine we can't pronounce
Too many bowls of that green, no lucky charms
The maids come around too much
Parents ain't around enough
Too many joy rides in daddy's jaguar
Too many white lies and white lines
Super rich kids with nothing but loose ends
Super rich kids with nothing but fake friends
Start my day up on the roof
There's nothing like this type of view
Point the clicker at the tube
I prefer expensive news
New car, new girl
New ice, new glass
New watch, good times babe
It's good times, yeah

INSPIRATIONAL CREATIVITY QUOTES POSTER EVALUATION

what went well? whilst I was designing and making my inspirational creativity quote posters what I found went well was coming up with different fonts and ideas of how to design my letters. I found that resizing the different letters and changing them from black and white into a colour went well. 

what didn't go well? one thing that I thought was difficult to achieve whilst making my posters was getting all of the letters in the right place how I wanted it and getting them in proportion with each other. 

what did you enjoy?  I enjoyed coming up with different fonts for my letters and drawing them out and scanning them onto the MacBook and deciding on different colours for each letter.

what didn't you enjoy? I didn't enjoy changing the colour from black and white into a different colour because I did a gradient style so it was really time consuming and I had to change every individual letter one by one.

would you change anything? if I had the chance I wouldn't change anything about my posters because I am happy with the final piece and I think they look really professional.

How I made my inspirational creativity quote posters


I made my 'inspirational creativity quotes' posters initially by designing 4 or 5 different styles of each letter of the alphabet by hand and then scanning then onto the MacBook and opening it in photoshop.



I then had to choose each individual letter and copy and paste the letters into a new photoshop document and then once I had got my quotes written out I had to change the colour of every single letter from black and white into a colour. 




These are my final designs.
