Andropia Vs. The Dark Knight

The new Dark Knight film released a poster yesterday that is very similar to my book cover for Foley's ANDROPIA, which I designed in 2008/2009. My cover features a sideview of a human head with the sun located in the brain area. The Dark Knight poster uses the same concept but with some slightly more photorealistic graphics and the sky in the shape of the Batman symbol. They probably didn't rip me off; the chances they saw my cover are very small. Pretty interesting, though!

Genoa Travel Poster

This is probably my final post on Jude In Italy! I've been home for over a week now and I'm glad to be back. I had one piece of unfinished business, though, and that was to finish this poster I started while in Italy. I started with a simple idea: create a beautiful travel poster that promoted Genoa and the Italian Riviera. I used the Lighthouse of Genoa on the poster because of its significance as a port city. The colors are inspired by the Italian flag, and they also kinda remind me of Gelato.

In addition to designing the poster, I recorded the whole creation process on my computer, then spliced it together and sped it up. I've seen this done before, but had never done it myself. The entire design took around four and a half hours, and the video below is 40 times the actual speed. I hope you enjoy it, and thanks for reading my blog!
