black & white, original sketch.
this is a very bad copy - i don't own a scanner - but you get the general idea. i designed this poster for bertie blackman's upcoming tour, centred around the idea of secrets & lies, the title of blackman's latest album.
i began with the key and slowly added each design element. the background was the last thing to be included; i used watercolour pencils to try and create an ethereal looking background. i'm really happy with the end product, especially with the incorporation of a couple of different typefaces, and how the text really fits 'into' the design. the only thing i'd like to change is perhaps the colour, or the placement of 'secrets and lies', because i think it may get lost in with the other swirls.
i like what i've come up with, but i always struggle knowing that you could take the design a million other ways; no design is truly finished, you could work and rework them forever.
