Adding the art work to letter forms

Finished From here to eternity artwork

Here is the finished A3 For the FHTE artwork

Finished Mercy Seat Montage

I have brought together all the elements of the montage for the 'Mercy Seat' art work here is the final piece .

Choice of typefaces

The most widely used typeface on wanted posters and perhaps most recognisable is 'claredon', actually an english typeface developed in 1845.

Claredon has been re-worked by HFJ and renamed Sentinel. Its recommend partners are, Knockout, Ziggurat, Chronicle text, and also Gotham. Knockout is the one that most suits the wanted poster/western design so I will be using that. And for any numbers i will also be using Numbers Delancy, that is a based on hand painted apartment numbering from the apartments in New York and suits the mood really well.

Examples of artwork

Heres some of the examples of artwork they were using at the time and some comparisons of other artwork in the same genres.

Over to the other side

So far most of this blog has focused on the art work for the mercy seat. Well I've been creating the artwork for from her to eternity. I have chosen to do a typographic design. But i decided to go with a computer based design influenced by the art work of the band the time.

Its supposed to have wanted poster/victorian feel. I have started to make a portrait version of the artwork that will be submitted as a piece on its own but for the actual letters the art work will be arranged accordingly.

heres the work in progress...
