lovenest stuff - moving along

here are a couple of versions of where i am headed with the posters/cards. they aren't exactly the most conceptually brilliant pieces i've ever made and YES I KNOW THE ALL TYPE ONE SUCKS RIGHT NOW. its very much in the making. it will be several different typefaces i am thinking all justified. for the posters to the right with the nests. which do you prefer? one of them the nest is more high contrast, and one is less. also, do you think the nest looks better in the center and feel the nest at the bottom is too bottom heavy? or do you like the nest at the bottom? let me know what you think...

i liked justins illustrations better...

"This is a picture of Marilyn Monroe made entirely out of different fonts for an ad in a São Paulo newspaper. Check out three more of Charlie Chaplan, Marlon Brando, and James Dean after the jump, all of which look great."

i randomly stumbled accross this on some blog. thought it was funny, justins type calendar was better...

lovenest layouts/ideas...

these are only rough layouts of compositional ideas. the imagery is just placeholders which will either be better illustrated in the future, or photographs will be used. i dont want to do hearts! a bit too obvious in my opinion, but who knows. since it is about photographers, and objects i figured i'd do something playing with rolls of film placed inside a birds nest like eggs or something. or rolls of film with pictures of objects such as birdsnests in the negatives. on the first one, the black frame around it would be a border you would see when looking through the viewfinder of an old camera. here is an example of what im talking about:
(thanks john) as for the type choice, the word "LOVE" is going to be the same font from the I heart NY logo, and then just a simple sans serif font like helcetica (which they seem to like using) for the rest. also, since industrial design plays a part in this show, one of them has a kind of blueprint type of sketch for a background texture...





or maybe i could do an illustration of a vintage camera with a big ass hightech freaking fort built around it...

i have alot more to do...

drive invasion poster (in progress)

still need to add some stuff, including people in the forward ground running away screaming and more saucing flyers that look like cars in the sky. then of course some comic style lettering for the title and all that jaz. anyways, yeah...
