I’ve been very wrapped up with freelance work lately over the past few weeks, which has left very little time for me to work on my own designs. But I recently had a small window open to follow through with this new piece, entitled Liquid Gold 77. I really wanted to push a metallic style with this one, something I briefly experimented with on the Smashing Magazine poster I created last year. The 77 design actually stemmed from the freelance I am currently working on, but shifted over to the Signalnoise side.
Once again, the inspiration for this comes directly from old network promo animations from the late 70s and early 80s with over the top reflections and flares. Can’t get enough of that stuff.
This poster has already been sent to proof at the print shop, and will be landing in the Signalnoise Store in the coming week.
Wow, it’s beauitful!
WOW!!I love it!
Great job, as usual. Love the crazy flares
looks fantastic.
I’d say it’s more like liquid bronze. Gorgeous!
Ohhhh! Very nice!!!
Seriously this is one of my favorites James, great work. I’m super impressed by the dark metallic shadow on the 77, just so awesome all around!
I really appreciate the kind words everyone. Thanks so much.
Wow! F**king awesome! And I loved the subtle texture on the background.
Amazing work man!
Very rad James.
It really looks and is very sharp! Although, not such a great year for births.
Year before, much better.
I wonder how you create the background….it’s amazing!
I don’t know what your freelance project is, but the 77s are one of my favorite bands of all time. I’m thinking about how this poster would look in my office.
