Travel Retro Posters!

Travel Idea - A bit weird!


So I have been working on the Project 2 for my course and I was really struggling with a theme - as discussed.

I was talking it over with some friends at dinner and they were coming up with some really wacky ideas.

1. Recreate famous classical paintings - yes this is a thing - Google it - some are really funny
2. Macro shots of peoples eye's - I found this one a bit creepy
3. Food - that I have eaten - this is what my partner does - when we are away any were he takes pictures of food. 

After all this brain storming that did not seem to get me any were - I thought I would love to do something different. I was already thinking about the story of travel.

I had edited a few of my travel pictures in Lightroom - cropping them so they were landscape and also black and white - this did require some editing with shadows and highlights.

BUT - this has been done so many times before and how could I make it my story and make it different. I had noticed in FOTOR that there was a section for design that I had seen when I was looking at trying to making invitations for a party (another story).

There was a sections for posters and I love the retro travel posters that are back in fashion at the moment.

I found my theme and my story - My Travels Around the World Set to Posters:

Edinburgh - History 

Paris - Love

Tasmania - Wilderness

I still have to make sure all the fonts match and the wording might change - oh and I have to do another seven posters.

That will keep me busy.

Follow-Up: I have not put any more weight on (go me) - As you may of gathered I have been busy with the course. It is keeping my brain busy. Dancing starts back next week and I have figured out that I am going to miss the first three weeks - I am sad.... Need a solution.
