Blue Moon Band Poster #19

Yet another. The idea was again pretty good, but didn't follow the event. I'll explain. The venue, Ickey Nickel, the event, Ragbrai. So instead of incorporating some sort of bike theme into the poster, I decided to take on one of the ideas that floated around during the last Ickey Nickel show poster. And so I present the nickel stuck to the buttom of a dirty shoe with gum of course. There are once again some new things in this poster, such as the block type at the bottom that I don't always do, but this allowed for it. I thought I would italicize the type as well, which I don't always do, because I thought flow of the poster was "moving" from right to left. And the white space turned out nice, I think. As for the images. The legs belong to my 3 year out boy Cayden and the boots he is wearing are uncall Nate's. The ground is actually a photo I took in a drunken jaunt through old town omaha. Old brick roads just beg to be captured in blissful digital imagery. We go every year for St. Pat's. How do you like the faux shadows of the strings and shoes? Talk amongst yourselves.

Photo Editing For Friend's Family Pic

Here is another example out of only a few that I have done. Which is unfortunate because I do enjoy photo editing and retouching. So a friend of the family had a couple of pictures, taken at different times, and wanted the girl in the front/right added by her family. So, I had to extend the background/building out and make room for her. Then I threw her in there and cropped the picture down to accommodate. Another problem was that there must've been a cloud overhead, cause I had to mess with the lighting on her a bit. And now that I look at it, I think I should've had her facing the other direction towards the middle. Oh well. They were very happy with it.

Photo Editing For Los Amigos Restaurant

 So here is a taste of the very little photo editing that I get to do. It was for an area restaurant called Los Amigos and the wanted this old photo from Mexico restored so they could have a poster of it in their restaurant. Not sure if they ever did it though. Please click the picture to actually see the difference. If you want.
