It’s day 10, and once again I have not gone out shooting (It was really cloudy unfortunately). I DID plan on going out tomorrow before hanging out with friends but it’s gonna rain. Great.

ANYYYWAYS this is what I’ve been up to today. It’s another banner like the one from the other day, but a little nicer I think. I finally discovered this little known thing called “texture”, and I don’t know how I neglected it so much in the past.

I think it came out better than the last one, and that’s probably because I sat on the design for a week thinking about how to make it work. I made the beige shape in inkscape (my Illustrator exploded) and overlayed it over a green fill. I duplicated it, expanded it, the used a brush to mask the edges of it for a worn look. I found some photocopy texture and construction paper texture online and slapped those on top at low opacity for the texture, and voila! It was all tied together.

My main critique of the it is just that the left side feels empty. I’m not sure if that is because my brain just hates the deadspace despite it being an effective use of it, or just that it is bad deadspace.

That’s all for today, so see you next time!
