After a sleepless night managed to pretty much complete a good chunk of the lineart for my next piece. #mywip #wip #design #hannibal #lecter #willgraham #alanabloom #lawrencefishburn #jackcrawford #art #lineart #vexel #vector #blackwhite #2015

*important* most of my inspiration research is on my pintrest and can be found here - http://gb.pinterest.com/mikedudds/  "

Simple One Page Website design for my font foundry.

Third DPS for booklet page. for this i wanted to show how the type looked on photography but more minimal the main focus on this DPS in the hierarchy was the title of the article AMUSE - BOUCHE. It instantly attracts the eye.

What works so well about the quote i used is the fact the black or white is the colour of the photograph i used. The setting i put the red type was hard light os it blended in and looked more sinister fitting the style of the typeface and character. What i like most about this cover is how strong it looks. I wanted a natural image to be used where he is cooking as it shows that he isn't insane at first glance although he is really cooking human remains it adds that mystery sense to the booklet cover.

I think this could be the strongest poster out of the Three i created for hand in. Reason being is the W is the strongest letter in the typeface like i had planned from the beginning and so the shape is attracting in the hierarchy.

I designed my main specimen poster showing the A-Z of my typeface, very dark texture used to help with the mystery surrounding hannibal The Metropolis font inspired the layout for this using a dark texture helps bring more focus onto the type while its white. I really like the way this looks as the subtle use of red in the word hannibal brings it away a bit bringing more focus onto the LECTER which is the typeface name. The grunge texture is subtle and doesn't detract to much from the type while it still fits the tone of the poster.

Anyway i wanted to use a powerful strong image from the series along with a quote to match it. This is from the first episode and is a copycat killing by hannibal to mask his trail. What i liked about this was i edited the photography from the series a lot, tweaked with contrast and depth to make it seem like a silhouette i also strethed the sky by adding in filters and then after finding it a bit dull made it fade to white to the top giving it a nice clean effect for the type to be overlayed on top of. i wanted to spread the type evenly to give it the sensation of the speaker pausing between each sentence. using my colour palette of red white and black i was able to break up the quote into sections. I have took out the underline from the final version as its a bit distracting although it looks cool. I can create my other specimen posters in a similiar fashion but i need to be a bit more brave with these and make the type speak louder.

I was able to make this DPS a lot more interesting after adding the pinlines from the first page, i think having them in red gives them more definition and helps bring something interesting to the page. The splicing is working well having it splice not just the image but the typography as well. it's very subtle but it works. Although there is a big white space it gives a nice sense of mystery to the page and allows us to take a bigger impact to the quote.

I still need to add some more content on the bottom right. The article is technically finished on the left page. so i could either add some more images or start another bit of type. Going to attempt something now.
