The Celestial Hurl

A friend of mine asked me to do a really quick (one day) turnaround for an illustration advertising a reading of one of her new scripts. I normally don't do this, but the title of the script gave me a fun idea. I looked to ancient star/constellation charts for inspiration. The drawing I did for the illustration was really rough, so I took it into photoshop for a bit of speedy finishing. The text was done in Illustrator and then I treated it to the same filter I used on the rest of the piece.

IC Logo 18



The last run of logos with the white outline inevitably led to a simple color heart, with solid white letters inside it. The heart is a darker color to increase the contrast with the white letters. The letters and the heart also have a slightly darker, thin outline to aid the contrast.


And the black/white conversion...

I have a small group of fellow artists that I trust and ask to critique my work. After seeing my efforts on this project, one of them suggested I use a white outline on the letters within the heart. So, I tried it out.
