Well well well, its been a very long time since I have added anything to my blog. Guess I have just been busy doing other things like finishing my Uni degree and working on other projects. There are a few things I have to post in the near future and I’ll slowly put them online when I get a chance.
The other week I was lucky enough to go see Maximo Park at a very small local gig at The Cluny in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, I love Maximo and have been to see them many times the past few years. I recently bought a couple of original posters from some of the tracks off their first album, the art work is great and I like the clean style and typography. I always wanted to have a bash at making one of my own, in a different style to see what it looked like. So the other night I eventually decided to make one. It took me a while to settle on a song though. I didn’t want to pick something new or something too mainstream. So I went for a song that wasn’t released as a single and one that not everyone regards the ‘greatest’. Despite this, I do love this song and without digging too deep into its meaning I created this design.

Given more time there are a few other things I may have included. But as you can tell from the style it is designed to be screen printed, so I wanted to keep it quite simple, using only two colours, well three if we count the grey text.
