I’ve been wanting to create another typographic illustration for a while now, as I really enjoy producing them and responding to that of interesting, and sometimes funny quotes! For today’s post I had a look online and selected a quote which really appealed to me, which was “behind every man is a woman rolling her eyes”, Jim Carey. The quote instantly caught my attention as it offered a lot of visually interesting concepts, and was quite a funny quote which I could illustrate to. From this, I started developing how I wanted the quote to be communicated within my sketchbook, and played around with different letter forms and imagery. I wanted to experiment with incorporating both type and image together, which is seen below within the word of ‘eyes’, with a face in between the word. I wanted the piece to represent humour and have a light side about it, which I hopefully got across. I feel that my language within hand rendered type is coming along well, which I’m thoroughly enjoying. Below you can see my sketchbook development pages, and the final typographic illustration.
Many thanks for listening and visiting my news page today. You can follow what I’m up to on my Twitter, Facebook or Google + pages, I’ll really appreciate it if you do, and don’t be afraid to say hi to me! Many thanks again, and have a great day!
