March Poster Design for Harley’s Lounge

March 2nd, 2010

For the March poster design, I returned to the idea of doing a text based design that I had last month. The lay­out is loosely struc­tured around the sacred geom­e­try of a golden spi­ral that sweeps out from the bot­tom right cor­ner and curves around from the upper left to the upper right cor­ner where it closes in on itself.

2010 Poster Design for Terracotta half-life

February 22nd, 2010

I just fin­ished a new poster design for Ter­ra­cotta half-life. The poster lists gig dates for the first half of 2010 as well as the band’s web­site. I based this design on some ancient Egypt­ian art. It has a gritty feel due to the use of sub­tle tex­tures and shades of dark gray. This dark­ness of the bot­tom half is con­trasted with mul­ti­ple lay­ers of warm col­ors and pat­terns on the top half.

February Poster Design for Harley’s Lounge

January 29th, 2010

I felt like doing some­thing dif­fer­ent for Feb­ru­ary. At first I was think­ing about doing a com­pletely text based design, until I had a vision of a zip­per. I’ll save the text idea for next month.

Terracotta half-life gets a new look for 2010

January 27th, 2010

Ter­ra­cotta half-life is a trop­i­cal funk band from Mar­quette Michi­gan that I founded over five years ago. I cre­ated the first web­site for the band in 2005. It was a sta­tic site built with HTML and for­mat­ted the “old” way with lots of nested tables and inline styles. It was a real pain to update. Over the years, its been evolv­ing with the band and now looks like this.
