True Grit: Handmade Textures & Halftones for Designers & Illustrators

YES!! What a great movie right? Cool project.

Very cool James! I agree with Lindsey that your supporting text should be bigger. I might even say your main text should be bigger as well. There seems to be a little to much white space. On a related note mind sharing how you got your text to undulate like that?

Yeh thanks for the feedback! 

I would normally agree with you 100% but I just went for the 'film poster look' as most film posters tend to have ridiculously small supporting text thats almost unreadable! The reason I think, is that the designer is legally obliged to fit all credits on to a poster but the only important information deemed necessary to sell a movie is the title and the lead actor / actress name. Therefore they make all unnecessary text pretty much unreadable so the TITLE etc... stands out without an overload of information. 

Yeh for the Title I just experimented with the warping effects in illustrator really until I got the desired effect!

I really like the way the layout is coming together and the colors! I think your supporting text could get a lot bigger and bolder and it would compliment the look and take it to the next level. (coming soon/john wayne etc) maybe even try hand drawing that text. Its going to look super rad!

Hey Andrew this class is so good thanks!
I chose the old film from 1969 and went with a psychedelic 60s look!
Will probably try some more variants with different gritty textures etc...
Any advice?
