giantlobsterprd Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I was recently commissioned to create a set of illustrations to go on construction hoardings around the Euston Station (London) area. I picked Affinity Designer as my weapon of choice, and the results can be seen if you take a wander around the district. The one small production bummer was that the agency doing the artwork insisted on AI files so I have to convert them all before sending them out. Even despite that I would still have used Affinity for these as it's just a much nicer illustration tool than Adobe. I think these would have taken me twice as long in Illustrator, and given me a migraine along the way. uneMule, JevoUK, AdamStanislav and 18 others 20 1 Quote --- Dan Robinson | Giant Lobster Productions Ltd Web: giantlobster.uk Instagram: @giantlobsterprd "Art is never finished – only abandoned." - LdV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 What a brilliant advertisement for AD! Thanks for sharing. They are superb, and I particularly like that 1930s/40s vibe - reminds me of a poster I once created for a production of Anything Goes. Quote Ali 🙂 Hobby photographer.

Alfred Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Magnificent work, Dan! I particularly like the little details such as the face and ears on the girl’s backpack.

Had to do quite a bit of research around travel posters of the era.

Ali Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 @giantlobsterprd The biggest giveaway is the sunburst. I think the theatre image is the closest to the vibe and the most successful.
