Designers!!! Do you ever find yourself getting lost on side quests?
Well I’m here to tell you, you’re not alone.
What should’ve been a straight forward poster design, inspired by the series of advertisement for fashion brand
@maisonalaia shot by the incredible
@tyronelebon and staring the amazing
@mona_tougaard turned into a 9 month long rollercoaster (Yes, this was started in April and honestly I think sums up my year!)
from recreating the Emirates airways typeface with the help of font self, to painstakingly trying to find the Virgil,
@sixsixsixinternational reference image (which is a lot more difficult when the only two things you could remember was, that it was Virgil and he was holding a Football Jersey that said ‘Fly Immigrant” on it, creating the perfect flowing ribbons, without craving and using Ai, to then being saved by Mo.edcuer with his awesome visual editions turning these more into aged prints, rather than something super digital and then final having to turn it into something social media ready (I hate recording audio so much it’s unreal)
I even had enough time to go and get the mohawk shaved back in, in time for the holidays.
but all in all it was worth it.
Thank you again to
@mo.educer it was awesome to link
