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

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
























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.

Sweat Suits and Pink Tutus - Typography Poster Day 23

Sweat Suits and Pink Tutus Typography Poster
























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.

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.
