This morning our task was to read through the task sheet and practice hand drawing fonts from the images and books we were provided with. I practiced hand design lettering including styles such as; art nouveau, swashes and a mixture of different fonts together. For example, here is an image of my drawings in my sketch book:
The next part of the lesson we had two options, I chose to create the psychedelic poster. But first I had to do some research. The word psychedelic actually means 'mind manifesting'. It is an art displayed visually, inspired by psychedelic experiences and hallucinations. This specific psychedelic font was very popular in the late 60's, it can also included images and lettering forming together, here are a few examples of this font/style being used:
These posters are very bright and have a lot of colours, a colour scheme is not really clear. Also the layout is very cluttered and completely full with virtually no blank spaces, this was sheerly just the style in the late 1960's. The text is almost just moulded in the gaps of the poster and/or creating the actual image itself.
