TEST OUT WHAT A TEXT BASED POSTER WOULD LOOK LIKE

Conclusion - whilst the sketch was visually appealing i didnt think it suited the theme of the task.

# data[].attributes.body
Lets just say that it took me awhile to correct place alot of the polygons in the right place so they didn't look off.
I had to make sure that all 200 were balanced and coloured properly - this took alot of time.

TRY DIFFERENT COLOUR SCHEMES - COMPLETED

NOTE:
After trying multiple colour schemes i found that sticking with the colours of the zombie worked best.

Popular trends in zombie posters- What makes a good zombie poster?

# data[].attributes.body
Popular trends i have noticed whilst browsing the internet include:
A hand appearing from the ground.

Depending on the location of the poster sometimes a landmark is used from that area.
Colour schemes include but are not limited to:
Black and white
Greens
Reds
Yellows
a tri-chromatic colour scheme

For me what makes a good poster is its uniqueness and its willingness to standout amongst the crowd.
It needs to inform the viewer visually.

Also Perhaps White?

I wanted to see the process involved in making a low poly poster. I am using these images to demonstrate what I did later on in the creating phase as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Simplistic - Uses minimal colours and shapes to create a child-friendly poster that can be also very visually appealing to the parents - as it is ultimately them that need convincing! Simplicity can sometimes be the best way to do a poster as a posters primary function is to convey a message at a glance.
Double Exposure - This type of style would bring a suffocated and professional tone to the poster. If used correctly it would work really well with a zombie themed poster.
Duo-Tone - Duo-Tone is a versatile effect that can be used in photography or in stylized cartoons.
Low Poly - A simplistic, yet, time consuming art-form. Using a low poly art style would stand out from the rest as from looking through multiple posters i could not find any.

What would I do differently if given the chance?

What would I do differently if given the chance?

# data[].attributes.body
If i were given the chance to redo this task I would change and improve upon my time management! This would allow for more feedback from the teacher and more time to edit the poster. Therefore, improving the general quality of the poster.

# data[].attributes.body
I proceeded to flip the zombie face and decrease the opacity so it is barely visible. This helped me align the font with the zombies facial structure.
Also i used this decrease opacity as an effect over the font(and the font only) by adding a layer mask. Look closely at the difference below - take note of the eye.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt that the background should remain a solid black colour - perhaps add a slight gradient. I didn't want to add anything else to the background as it would make the poster to visually clustered.

# data[].attributes.body
I also individually paint bucketed some of the polygons that didn't quite fit in

# data[].attributes.body
In the end, and alot of work( around 200 indivdual layers). The  basis of the zombie was complete.

<--- Zombies Face

Adelaide Zombie Walk 2018
13th of October
Rundle Park

# data[].attributes.body
I the created an "action" which records your previous inputs and turns them into a shortcut. Once made I reduced the time creating the image in half. Also adding a feature that it adds the shape to its own individual layer,  makes it easy to redo if there were any mistakes - there were plenty.

# data[].attributes.body
Once a selection has been made you must go to filters/blur/average.
The average effect selects the most common colour in the selection and turns that selection into that flat colour.

# data[].attributes.body
Once a grid was added and the photo aligned, I started creating the individual shapes in the image. This was done with the polygonal lasso tool.

# data[].attributes.body
After revising and looking through my padlet i decided to revisit some elements of the design. I added a slight gradient to the background! Also editing the zombie's teeth whilst adding the location to the bottom of text.

# data[].attributes.body
Already knowing that I wanted the font to be symmetrical with the face and already deciding that the font should be bold  (due to preplanning). It was already very easy to visualize the end effect. Hence

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that changing the font of the word 'zombie' to a similar yet destoryed version of the previous font adds visual interest to the image.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose 2 fonts:
Call of duty - https://www.dafont.com/call-of-ops-duty.font?text=Adelaide+Zombie+Walk
Insomnia - https://www.dafont.com/insomnia-2.font?text=Adelaide+Zombie+Walk+2018

Designing the Artwork and how I achieved this effect

# data[].attributes.subject
Designing the Artwork and how I achieved this effect

# data[].attributes.body
To create this effect, you must first have a pre-shot/drawn image - in this case a zombie.

The first and most crucial step is to add a grid! (This grid makes the polygons align leaving no gaps)

# data[].attributes.body
I added a few additional adjusment layers that allow me to change the saturation/ and colour scheme with a few simple sliders.

Also editting and bringing out the midtones e.t.c

# data[].attributes.headline
Changes made to the idea during the planning

# data[].attributes.subject
Changes made to the idea during the planning

# data[].attributes.body
I originally planned to have the the face take up the hole poster - however, reconsidered as it would be hard to figure out the placing of the font and sponsors; this could also make it cluttered. Hence why I opted for only half a face. This gives me more options for the styling of the poster.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to blend the style of a low polygon portrait with a zombie face. I believe mixing these two ideas together will creating a visually appealing and well presented poster if done correctly.

# data[].attributes.body
The purpose of this poster is to attract attention to an upcoming event - in this case, a zombie walk. It informs the viewer by drawing them in visually. Information shown on the poster includes the date, time, when and where. Also, the online website to register.

Colours featured are minimalistic only composed of 3 shades of green, black and white. These colours are not unusual for a poster of this kind; it helps cement the idea of a zombie walk. Green reflects the eeriness and contrasts well against the black and white. The white is used to draw attention to the poster.

The key image shown on the poster is the zombies. These zombies stand out due to the colour palette selected. These zombies contrast against the title of the sign "ZOMBIE WALK".

The lower half of the poster shows both information on the location and time of the event; it also features stylised images of zombies. The top half informs the viewer with the title in bold (this takes up most of the top sector). Otherwise, a stylised version of the city of Sydney is present in the background.

Every image in this poster is 'cartoonized.' Every model has been hand drawn to suit the theme of the sign creating a very professionally made poster. None of the elements in the poster stand out by themselves but instead coincides perfectly to balance the image.

Two colours are present in the title; green and black. The font is primarily made up of black which would blend in with the black of the background sky, if not for the green which outlines the two producing a distinct yet noticeable title.

The font used is bold and confronting - yet, somehow playful. Perhaps due to the wiggliness of the font relating back to the theme of the zombie walk. These unstraight lines could reflect 'the chills" or maybe flesh, e.g. the brain.

No 'tagline' is present in this poster. It does feature (as before mentioned), a title of the event and its location.

The layout of the poster is balanced and creates a sense of depth. Depth is achieved by the creator demonstrating the correct use of sizing throughout the image.

This poster is appealing/informing to anyone who would like to participate in the zombie walk. Evident due to both the posters design and the information held on it. It appeals to both kids with its 'cartoony' themes and adults due to both its colour scheme and event details.

This poster I believe has a very (very) unbeatable design. As before mentioned, depth, colour and visuals all progress and made it something special.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted the design of the poster to be balanced. Therefore, I followed the shape of the face on the right to space/proportion and create the font style on the left.

# data[].attributes.body
Now the creating begins!
After sourcing a few images from the planning a came to a conclusion that ...

Creating this face to say the least was quite a tedious task...

# data[].attributes.body
After looking through many images online, and correlating them onto a moodboard. I have concluded my ideas into three ideas.
1. A low/poly zombie face
2. A photograph of a hand (my own - as other wise I would need to get sign permission for me to use their photo.
3. A mainly texted based image (with the 2018's 8 being the mall's balls from Rundle in Adelaide). The poster would use red with black and white to complement.

# data[].attributes.body
After looking through some of the fonts I have shown on my mood board I have come to the distinct conclusion that most of these fonts are hard to read from a distance. A bold font would increase the readability and draw more attention to the poster

Planning and the eventual design decision.

Before even starting the process of creating the poster on photoshop. I first up looked up guides on using shortcuts and tricks to reduce time spent on creating the basis of the task. I first began to sketch the layout of the poster - I went with Idea 1 as i thought it would be both fun and creative.

Gallow Tree, another free brush typeface, hot on the heels of Thirsty Dog that you can download free for non-commercial use. I drew this with a Faber Castell brush pen, I wanted it to look horror like, with a hint of grunge.

Gallow Tree name, weird name huh?

Whenever I want a darker name for a new font I turn to Nick Cave and the bad seeds. The name is taken from the song Up Jumped The Devil

Who's that hanging from the gallow tree
His eyes are hollow but he looks like me
Who's that swinging from the gallow tree
Up jumped the Devil and took my soul from me

Nick was described by the NME as the grand lord of gothic lushness -Who I'm I to argue with that.

How I created the Gallow Tree font

Gallow tree was created with a Faber Castell brush pen that I bought on Amazon.

It was then scanned in and converted to a font with Glyphs App.

There was a bit more to it than that, but I will spare you the detail.

The Typeface in action

Oh the horror

Gallow tree was inspired by the classic horror posters like creature from the black lagoon and house of dracula. I love those old horror movies, but the posters were bright, brash and tacky-I totally love them.

So the font is kind of creepy, but it's still lively and very legible.

The font includes around 370 glyphs, including uppercase letters, numbers and punctuation. and supports western european, central european, and south eastern european characters.

The font is .otf and .ttf format.

Buy Gallow Tree commercial version £5

You can buy Gallow Tree for £5, that includes full commercial usage -, the font format is still .otf and .ttf. It has around 370 glyphs and supports western european, central european, and south eastern european characters.

How to download Gallow Tree free for non-commercial use

For those that don't read too good-this font is uppercase only.

Download Gallow tree free font

Please note: Although this font is free, it can not be distributed by individuals, bulletin board systems, FTP sites, WWW sites, etc., without prior permission.

That is all.

Just because Chiller is outdated and tacky doesn't mean that you have no options left for Halloween fonts. The season may be months from now, but you better start choosing the font you'll be using for this year's Halloween celebration.

Many brands start offering Halloween promos when October starts, even if their products and services have nothing to do with the season. This marketing approach has been highly effective for years. It's a way to take advantage of the season's mood and influence consumers to buy what you're offering.

Some of you may also be commissioned to create party posters or invites, or create thematic materials for Halloween parties. This is where Halloween fonts can also prove to be useful.

Now, some of you may be tempted to create your own fonts. If you want a personal look without making the entire process time-consuming, below are 20 creepy fonts that would be perfect for your Halloween designs. Just browse through these designs and imagine them as part of your work.

Atorak is a brush font, but it's not just your usual crafty and homey style that's almost always apparent in handwritten fonts. Somehow, its grainy look makes it seem like it was written with an ominous air hanging around, making it perfect in summoning those Halloween feels.

Another hand drawn brush font, Morracle, sets off quite an eerie look when used. It's interesting, as it looks like those handwritten notes you would often see in murder mysteries or tragic love stories where the end is often bloody and sadistic - the type of story that leaves you sleepless for days.

No, the zombie craze is not over yet that even the font design world is still creating quite a few gems perfect for the trend. Zombie Dust is one such font design, a handmade brush pen font that can keep you looking behind your shoulders as you watch out for walkers.

Endless Sorrow may not have the spine-tingling appeal that the others on this list automatically gives you. But its charm does bring about that odd Tim Burton feel, still making it a great choice for Halloween, especially if you want to play around with wide-eyed characters and hollow eyes.

There's no hiding the fact of its eerie effect from the name alone. With horns on the letter tips and dripping blood at the bottom, it's as scary as you need it for the season.

You can't exactly describe Okami as scary. However, the roughness of this hand drawn brush font could remind you of those role playing games where zombies, aliens, or other scary entities suddenly attack you from random corners, so it gives you an even bigger chill.

Upjohn takes you back to old horror movies with its spooky, quivery effect. It has both clean and rough versions, so you can play with it and mix it with your spooky Halloween designs any way you want it.

Skeletons are the perfect props for Halloween, and bones form great letters! That's why Bonestyle is going to be a great hit for Halloween season, especially when you use this font on event invites, posters, and all other spooky designs.

Described by the creator as a "deadly typeface", Savath reminds you of old horror movies. It's enough to keep you on your toes as you expect psycho killers in shower stalls and monsters lurking behind windows.

Wildwood definitely gives off an adventurous vibe with its carefree brush style. But then again, adventures, especially in the middle of the woods, can turn into horrifying experiences.

The name itself is a warning of the sensation that the Dreadful font can bring. This layered typeface is something you'd expect to see in cemeteries or in mad scientist labs, so you get the picture.

Mukadua, when translated, means two-face. This perfectly describes this font duo, which works perfectly for light and innocent designs, but works even better in darker and more sinister settings.

Herald is a bouncy serif font, but that doesn't mean it's all fun, fun, fun. It also works perfectly in mystical, mysterious, and somehow fiendish settings, making it a perfect choice for the not so faraway Halloween party season.

Another dark typeface, the Dark Window is enough to send shivers up and down your audience's spine. Use it for anything scary, diabolical, and vicious and you're sure to get the reactions you want.

The unruly ink used in Another Danger makes the style match what the name actually means. It's dark and dangerous, easily reminding you of serial killers and mass murderers on the loose, keeping you extra alert everywhere you go.

Motor City gives you that same sensation you feel when you enter a ghost town. You're going to have to look around to make sure that none of its spooky residents are plotting something evil around you.

If names are meant to describe what's to be expected, then Horror captures its exact appearance with its name. It's all you need on your design to unleash all the monsters Halloween is best known for, whether they're zombies or vampires, ghouls, or werewolves.

Story Brush may look like it's perfect for a grunge design, but that's not the only thing it's good for. Seeing the reckless way each stroke was made, it's apparent that this font is perfect for scary, sinister, and mysterious designs as well.

Covenant is reminiscent of those threats you see on walls written in blood whenever a sinister plot is underway. With those long and reckless strokes, you'll start to wonder: is that ink...or blood?

Deathgrin may only come in capital letters, but that adds even more emphasis to the horrors that this design may bring. If anything, the name actually describes what it can make you feel - death grinning right at you.

Halloween may feel like a lifetime away, but these fonts can bring the spooky season even closer than it is. This makes it perfect for designers who want to start the scare party as early as now. Especially if you feel that your Halloween designs can use that authentic creepy and mysterious feel, any of these fonts listed above can deliver exactly that.
