•POSTER DESIGN PROCESS

I've finished the poster design for our August 28th show, and thought I'd share some of my process on this one, since the Beakman character took on quite a transformation from the original form. I posted images of the actual illustration process in a previous blog post, but wanted to show how I got to that point.

The basis of the August-28-hideout poster illustration, was an earlier illustration I did for a Heligoats poster quite some time ago, which was based off illustrations & Clay-models done by Heligoats front man, Chris Otepka. That illustration looked like this:

It's fun and simple - essentially following the design of Otepka's original Beakman Character. So Based on the original design, I created a sketch as the basis for the NEW Stylized Beakman. With the original design as a loose framework, and several bird images as reference, I quickly sketched out this:

After scanning in the sketch, I dropped it into Illustrator and went vector crazy. As stated before, some process pics of my actual illustration & poster design can be found a few blog posts ago - I also post many process pictures to my Tumblr and Twitter pages.

After many hours of work and revisions, I ended up with this. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
