Looking for some feedback on this poster I designed in Photoshop. This is a poster for a hypothetical 20th anniversary showcase of the YouTube sitcom “Chad Vader: Day Shift Manager.” All text is hand lettered, and the illustration is drawn in photoshop.
The show was filmed in my city, and the creators are planning on releasing a new episode, so this was based on a hypothetical showcase for the sitcom.
This is an adaptation of a script by u/Vocomagicae
My goal with this version was to try to simplify the shapes of the original letters, without changing them too drastically. I was inspired by Carolingian and Cyrillic calligraphy in drawing the letters.
I used a pilot parallel pen to sketch out the letters, then used Image Trace in Illustrator and adjusted the shapes a bit. I wanted to try to keep the roughness of the pen work, so the letters aren’t as precise as they could be.
While it’s a a perfect font (the letter “f” is very challenging to write), this was good practice!
