Radio silence: Part I: Easter

So I've been away for, what, four whole months? No, I have not been lying around eating cheese and listening to Hanson. Well, not much. Not the cheese anyway. I thought it was high time I posted again with some of the stuff that I've been doing. So. First came Easter. I was asked to do the posters for my church:




These shouldn't have taken all that long. It was a lot of chopping and moving really. However, I kept on simplifying the text, and then needing to change it, so I had to go back and rewrite it again. I learned a good lesson on these. I also learned, incidentally, that Photoshop does not respond to my smacking my head on the keyboard. Strange. I also did a big Easter day poster, which I'm not sure was ever used, but I liked it:






















 In case you are horrified by the fact that they don't line up together, they were intended for a two part noticeboard. If you're horrified by my love of Rockwell, get over it. It worked. I also did this for the children at the local schools:



I was kind of proud of this one. It went through about ten drafts, and doesn't look here a lot like it did when I started, but I liked it. I'm not sure that we got any extra kids to church, but it was worth a try.

So. That was Easter. I'll share some more of the last four months soon. For now though, I've got lunch to make, Hanson to listen to (no, I'm still not kidding) and the sun to bask in. Have a nice day.

I'm a self-taught graphic designer, trying to work out how to make this thing called work, work. I've also got a degree in Art History and Film Studies, an interest, bordering on obsession with animation, strong views on typography, an enormous recipe file and a well used bible.
