For Arts Sake - Mother's Day A-board 2013.

Made this 1950's inspired a-board for Mother's Day coming up. I found this old card which the artwork is based upon and touched it up with a bit more colour and detail. However, making it as big as it is really compromised the detail, pixels galore. It was a shame I only discovered this at print but from this photo it perhaps isn't too bad for it's purpose. The font wasn't my first choice I'd like to add, the boss wanted something more cursive then the font I originally picked out (Gill Sans) and this seemed the only decent legible one. 

For Arts Sake - Mothers Day A-board.

Forgot about this, I designed this A-board promotion at the gallery I work at for a couple of weeks leading up to Mothers Day. I went for 50's kinda vibe as that's a fairly stylish look in at the moment and the fact we have a lot of tea-sets/cups in the shop itself works for this. This isn't something I'd normally do but I quite like it, it's fairly basic and by no means a groundbreaking, unique piece of design but I think it fits for the purpose of attracting more customers very well. Apparently when I wasn't working, a couple of Japanese tourists were standing by it and taking photos of it. On the same day a woman came in and asked if she could buy the actual poster (!) the gallery didn't sell it to her (but they should have). Bit annoyed I didn't take a photo of it sat outside but ah well!
