Hmm, by the looks of things around here, you wouldn't know that I'm a graphic designer would you? For instance, the header that is so old it doesn't even have Ollie on it. My computer time is pretty limited these days so I use it to work on whatever deadline is closest and try to fit in a little blogging time, and everything else has to wait (which is why I'm the worst at responding to emails and comments on the blog, but I love hearing from you, and I will try to be better).
A lot of my work is too boring to share or I have to wait to share it until it's been published, and by the time it's out there, I totally forget. Anyway, every once in a while, I get to work on something really fun that I can share. A few weeks ago, I got to do some posters and flyers for my mom for the Alpine Home Care and Hospice movie premiere of Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows. I usually just use images from the movies for these premieres, but I couldn't find any images that I liked for this project, and I had a little extra time so I drew something up. It's inspired by these vintage looking superhero posters by Michael Myers (If Creed loved Comic book superheroes, we would NEED these posters. It's hard to find non-cheesy superhero stuff). I should have taken the time to age this like the Michael Myers posters, but I was on a tight deadline. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, but I'm not so sure that my mom liked them. What do you think?
I'm tempted to do a whole series with all of my favorite Harry Potter characters but I have no idea what I would do with them since they are licensed characters and all . . .
These fliers are at my office and I never even knew it was your work. Too bad the premier is not one day sooner
ReplyDeleteI love the fliers and have many positive comments on the graphics.
ReplyDeleteI love it, it reminds me of the "Wicked" posters too.
ReplyDeleteLike it a lot.
ReplyDeleteIf you made a series maybe you could frame them...maybe someday if you had a media room these would be fun. Sort of like how some people decorate with Vintage Movie posters...they'd be like a tribute to a favorite book/movie set?
Or maybe for Creeds room when he gets a bit older and gets into the books.
Wish you could sell them on Etsy...very cool :)
They turned out fantastically, if you ask me!
ReplyDeletei just popped in to see what beautiful things you were creating. i LOVE this poster. i had also seen the meyers' poster. we are just finishing a theater room. . .i might need to talk to you about a harry potter poster:). any chance you are doing beauty and the beast or indiana jones?
