BR posters. progress and mistakes

while looking at different art movements i was very interested in the shapes used in the art deco movement, so i wanted to try and use the "slotting together" of shapes in this image, i also looked at art nouveau and wanted try out using flowing organic shapes also and see what looked better.i started off trying to edit my poster by adding texture to the top brown section and the top red section, then playing around with fonts. when printing this it came out blurry i am not sure if it is the image or the printer i was using, i will try print from another printer and see how it comes out. the bottom info ( the web sight and the phone number) was not lined up properly. and the events info was not lined up properly.  i also wanted to try using white so it would stand out more against the red. and try adding blue to match the hat at the top.

after adding the blue strip to match the hat i decided that the border reiver face was not a strong and more obvious border reiver face. so i decided to look up images of border reiver men. i also decided to look renaissance faire posters for inspiration on the typography and colour.

after finding the new face image i decided to add a more bold font and use black for the Border Reivers title. i also wanted to deepen the colours on the poster overall and the strip with the date and location i wanted to match the top of the poster for a separation of shapes.

i added the blue 'We Ride' to have a contrast against the red but i kept a looser more art nouveau font as i liked how it looked and instead of lining up the events in columns i decided to do it as a list.  i also changed the positioning of the number and web sight at the bottom and i really like how it looks i then noticed Hawick was misspelled.

I am going to line up the events list so there is a straight gap in-between the writing and the ends line up, i aslo need to put a capital letter at telephone and i want to see if a bolder blue would look better.

I changed the 'We Ride' colour to match the colour at the top, also changing the events list to a font easier to read and changed it to a white with a yellow tint to it to complement the colour of the 'we ride' type. the typeface i used for the events list to me, dose not look correct. try using only two fonts.

i decided to research typography more.
