I tried, unsuccessfully, to get permission from Janelle Monae’s camp to make a gig poster for her upcoming show at Schuba’s. Yet, I’m going to try and make one anyway. In their defense, I only sent one email, but I thought would get some response. Maybe I should try again…
Anyway, I had this “weave” idea while on vacation a couple weeks back and I like the way it looked. I’m not totally sold on this sketch right now, but I’m going to throw it in Illustrator and see what happens. My original idea had the weaving continuing through the letters with smaller strands. I ditched it with this sketch because it seemed too busy. I want to make the strands metallic and put a red glow in the letters. I’m also thinking about putting silhouettes in the background as well. Plus, I want to have some control boxes on the outside of the weave strands. So, even though this sketch is underwhelming…there is a lot of work to do…
