The Relationship Between Duct Tape and the Star Wars Death Star - Typography Poster Day 31

Fini. Just like poor Alderaan.

Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side & a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

I'm pushing the boundaries of little to no illustration but I say it's only circles. That's my justification and I'm sticking with it. I never realized how much the Death Star looks like an olive. If I drank (or ate olives) I'd be tempted to have a martini to celebrate the end of this month's challenge.

Tuna Fruit - Typography Poster Day 24

It's helpful people say tuna fish, since I would hate to confuse it with tuna fish.

Sweat Suits and Pink Tutus - Typography Poster Day 23

I used to envy moms with fashionable daughters. Mine kids were usually covered in dirt and they refused to wear anything other than sweat suits and pink tutus. Sometimes they wore them together.

OK, they also liked to dress up in super hero costumes and they still do on occasion.

Dining In - Typography Poster Day 22

I like the way the D in the tittle looks like a cauldron and the rest of the I reminds me of a ladder back chair.

There Are No Bad Vegetables, Only Misunderstood Ones - Typography Poster Day 20

I must admit artichoke is one of my favorite vegetables, it only looks dangerous.

The colors in the gradient came from actual vegetables.

Bicycle Riding in 92% Humidity Is A Cure For A Good Hair Day - Typography Poster Day 15

I announced this after returning from a rather sweaty bike ride in winds that would have made the Wicked Witch of the East nervous.

I made the poster in Illustrator with a grey gradient in the text. It needed a bit more so I opened it Photoshop.

Layer 3 - Add a desatuated grunge texture image. Blend mode Overlay. Opacity 43%

I Before E Except After C Weird - Typography Poster Day 12

I used think there were no exceptions to certain things I learned in school. There are 9 planets, 5 senses, we use 10% of our brains and i before e except after c. I feel so disillusioned.

Do Not Spoil What You Have - Typography Poster Day 7

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you don't have. Remember that what you now have was something you hoped to have. I just realized I forgot to kern the word "have." I think I'll just have to ignore it and move on.

Monster Under The Bed - Typography Poster Day 4

Blanket on. Too hot.
Blanket off. Too cool.
One leg out. Perfect.
What was that noise.
Need to move feet stealthily.
Dread intensifies.
Toes safe hidden out of reach.
Blanket on. Too hot...

Humorous Animal Group Names - Typography Poster Day 3

A herd of cows isn't as amusing as a flamboyance of flamingos. Many animals groups have interesting names and the poster has the ones I enjoyed the most. The type has curves to resemble animal stripes.

Humorous Calorie Definition Poster - Typography Poster Day 1

Calories. Tiny creatures living in your closet that sew your clothes a little bit tighter every night. This explains a lot.

This month I'm going to explore typographic posters. There will minimal, if any, illustration beyond colored backgrounds.
