Halloween Poster


The design elements I chose are making the color of the poster not too dark so that you can't see the tree and the grave stones on it, and it isn't too bright. The color and the lighting choice makes the moon have a glow to it and putting it behind the tree gives it an eerie feel. I put the text on the right-hand side of the poster because it's out of the way of the rest of the picture and not overlapping a lot of the tree or gravestones. The font is orange in the font chiller to give it a "Halloween" vibe. The font is easy to read and nothing is too tiny to read. It's not squished together and is easy to read. The text is'nt all over the place and the picture and the text are not fighting with each other.

I made certain letters bigger than others to show importance. I made water blue to make it stand out and to show what the quote was about. I put the lines to make the text into parts so it doesn't look like one big chunk of text.

Halloween text

Some things I leaned is how to make a pretty decent spider's web. I didn't get to make a bat of spider because I tried to download the thing to make them and  it wouldn't let me so I didn't put any of them. Making the shadings in the colors of the letters was hard and I didn't do it well ,but it looks decent. I also learned how to make a better shadow underneath the letters.

Woof

The easiest thing about this was making the paws. The hardest thing was getting the fur and stuff. The fur is hard and I really wanted to give up on this thing.

Lyric Typography

For my lyrics I chose are from the song called "Brass Goggles" by Steam Powered Giraffe. The song is about how Colonel Walter made made three humanoid robots to fight off the army of copper elephants. After the war was won and over, the robots were left to live among humans. I chose this song because I really love the feel this band gives. The lyrics are fun and imaginative. I made the word "shocked" bigger an bolder to emphasize that the Colonel was shocked about what is happening in the place of this song. "Leaned" is also bigger to show again that this action is important to shows that these actions he's doing are very important in this song. The font I chose was Copperplate Gothic Light. I chose this font for this song for it gave off a sort of mechanical, futuristic feel I guess that is how I  can explain it. I added the lines between each lyric to break it up and let it flow nicely. I made "copper" and "hostile" the only words in a different color. I don't like over coloring things because I think it ruins good art with too many colors. Anyway, I made copper and coper-ish color to give a visual of that the elephants color is important and that they are not real elephants. Hostile is red to show that it was the elephants fault for starting a war, which is not mentioned in the thing because I ran out of room on the paper thing. The lines are also different sizes to create flow.
Here's the link thing for where I got the lyrics:
