Headline

For my Headline brief I'm focusing on this funny little article I found burried on page 38 of the Saturday Guardian. It was first printed on the first of October 1906 and it covers the Paris hot air balloon race. I thought it was such a cool and nostagic subject that it would be good to base my brief on. I also thought that there would be a lot of interesting visuals that I could work with.

I started developing some type. I added the highlights on Illustrator, I tried a couple of different types. The top Paris has more pointed, narrower highlights and the one below has more rounded ones. I would have thought that pointed narrower ones would have looked better but I actually prefer the rounded ones.

Originally I just tried one word but then I thought I would try the whole title in hand rended type.
I am pretty happy with how they turned out. I am continuing to develope the rest of the poster.
