Draighean Band Part 2

In starting this project I reviewed over 100 photos of my trip to Ireland.  It was a tough choice my I narrowed it down to using the following pictures to create my poster.  I needed to also pull in a few stock photos, as I didn't have any good lightning shots or celtic tatoos.

Now to pull it all together.

I had to draw the bands logo because I wasn't happy with any of the fonts, so I drew it scanned it in, cleaned it up in corel draw imported it, and gave it a texture and and outline with a green overlay.

As for the text I added some glow with a slight drop shadow to make it stand out from the background and give it some dimension.

 

This project was definately alot of work and challenging. I believe that the poster is effective because it clearly shows it is Irish related. It states Celtic Rock and shows an edgy image from the norm. Celtic Rock is a newer rendition of celtic music. I think the castle grabs your attention and the white fonts sends the message. So here is the finished project.
