The VIDEOfeet, Lamfrag and Disperse Records Blog
We’ve been so busy at the moment, it’s been hard to find the time to put up bloggins posts. So this is the first in a while!
These two (as yet unnamed) pencil drawings are works in progress from a possible future series of art prints…
The intention is eventually to print them on a large scale as a series of pictures, using these pencil drawings as starting points in the process. However the rest of the method of printing, size etc. is still in flux. Time to experiment!
Creative St Albans are looking to develop their brand. Here are a couple of the logo designs we are proposing:
These are just a couple of process sketches Matt has been working on. This first is a sketch of a MauMau warrior for the theatre performance ‘Burn My Heart’ produced by Blindeye and Trestle:
These next couple are a sketch and an ink drawing for ‘The Birthday of the Infanta’, a proposed theatre performance at Trestle Theatre:
Here are a couple of process images from the flyer we recently designed for Trestle Theatre, under the title “Thomas Paine: The Liberty Tree”. It was to promote a performance by two singer/songwriters, Leon Rosselsson and Robb Johnson with the titular free thinker as the theme.
This is the finished flyer:
It came together with ideas and work from all three of us; we especially wanted to have the tree as a central connecting image for the design, from this came the idea of having the roots spelling out the title of the piece. I created the text using a simple sans serif font to get the layout and give a guideline, then worked over that in pencil and ink:
Meanwhile Jim created this sweet guitar/tree motif in Photoshop. Here you can see it coloured and integrated with the text:
This was unfortunately unusable in the end as the brief stated the need to use pictures of the performers. To this end Matt created this sketch, and followed from there, inking it over the lightbox and eventually bringing all the separate components together for the final design:
Here are some of the illustrations I’m working on for Lamfrag’s next Short “The Polig”. They won’t be in the actual film but will be the key feature in the poster and DVD design. Hope you like them – more details coming soon…
