In consideration of the kind of hazy summer vibe Washed Out has with his usual visual work, Joe Torr has let us use his amazing shots from a holiday in the Canary Islands, taken with a cheap underwater camera he bought from oxfam.
We printed the scanned photos onto acetate, in A4 and some in 35mm so we put them in slide frames and see how they looked on the slide projector. The whole idea was to layer up projections and hopefully either use a photograph for the flyer and add text afterwards or use text as part of the photo...
I liked how alot of the shots came out, but I don't think they really fulfill the purpose of what the posters for, the info needs to be clear and obvious. So using any of these would be kind of pointless, for the sake of clarity, we tried photoshopping the text we drew onto acetate with one of Joe's photos...
The black text was more legible than the white - and we wanted to keep the hand-drawn font to reference our night - but the white just felt more in-keeping with the bright summer feel. For the sake of legibility we added a shape to the lighter central part of the photograph which produces a clearer outcome, and will hopefully be readable by any potential gig attendees.
