I’ve done a couple of design assignments this weekend.  There will be a few more to come, but I was pretty excited about these and wanted to post them now.

This assignment looked like a lot of fun.  It also seemed somehow familiar.  Long ago, my friends and I renamed “The Departed” with a much more apt title: “Head-Shot: The Movie”.  So I started with this

And ended up with this

Not great, but I think it does the job.  By the time I finished, I really wished I had used a different font.  I was unwilling to start over though, because just doing this version took me quite a long time.

Then there was this one that I honestly chose because it seemed easy enough that I could actually do it. And since I’ve been rereading Dune this week:

These were both pretty simple.  I had someone show me some basic photoshop layering for Head-Shot and then had some annoying trial and error adventures.  For the Arrakis travel poster, I just used mspaint.  That one was easy.  Really, simplicity is key.

More design assignments on the way, probably mostly movie related as well.  There will also be more daily creates too.  I know you’re thrilled.
