Edith Piaf poster

Here's a poster i did as for the late singer Edith Piaf. You might remember her music in inception, she was the french singer playing in the back ground that was supposed to signal when to give the kick. Anyway for the poster one of the guidelines was only to use color and shape

I ended up with this elegant swirl which I thought best represented her. Black and white I felt had a kinda old world quality which I liked. I used ink and open acrylic medium, which behave much more like oil in terms of texture and feel and yet their still acrylic paint! WHAT! thanks Grim Wilkins!

an alternative typesetting... pretty shitty this way but i felt it could of been done real well like this... i wanted to make a gradient from the "H" to the "E", "H" being black "E" being white but towards the middle this didn't because the "I" became too light... sigh ohh well
