Remembering The Hair
Poster design in Adobe Illustrator
Pop Art Style
This was a fun piece I did for a good friend of mine to commemorate the end of lockdown and the inevitable need for him to get a haircut. His pre haircut look was magnificent and was one of those pictures that immediately grabbed me and I knew i wanted to do something with it.
I elected to use Illustrator and the image trace function. This gave a definite style which I recoloured and set off in a 2x2 frame design. With the image reminding me of the Melvins, I took inspiration from the 90's grunge scene with a font that was actually reminiscent of the Helmet albums. A very simple and clean sans serif (Termina Black) did the trick.
The background applied was a radial gradient with an overlay of Noise to give a 'grungier' effect.
A satisfying piece to do which my friend loved.
I also produced individual coloured images as he is thinking about getting a t-shirt printed.
