experimental journal 1/50
what is this you may ask? well, I have to do 50 design-related experiments for a class that isn't completely useless but should have definitely been something we took at the beginning of the program not 4 semesters in. so I decided that I would have fun with it and use this as a way to document them because the reason I have been putting it off is that I do not want to make the pdf for it after every experiment. yes, I am aware that this is probably just as much work but it is more fun than making an InDesign file and documenting what I just did. this way I have all my thoughts on it for when I actually do my write-ups.
for this experiment, I followed this tutorial for a vintage poster. I think it turned out pretty well, mine is a bit darker than the original tutorial. I think that was caused by the paper texture I used. the background photo is from Unsplash. for the font, I used Neue Haas Grotesk, they did not list what font they used so I opened my TikTok collections because I will always save any video that claims to have the best _ fonts or best fonts on _. I also attempted the little oval with small text that is on top of the original but because of the composition of the photo I used, it looked a bit awkward in the space. overall this was a fun first experiment.
experimented with: hue & saturation, filters (noise and gaussian blur), and text effects (drop shadow).
