Of the 3 Typography posters this one is my favourite. My only plan for this was to make something different with the Mirror Shine photos. I didn't know what to expect. First of al I got one of the Mirror shine photos and then inverted it to white and grey and used the grain filter to make it a reliable background. I then wanted to create my initials myself using ether a lasso tool or the pen tool. After trying this out it didn't work but I thought it would look good and would give a sort of unique shape to my initials if I just made my initials out of actual letter-fonts in photoshop. So that's what I did. And it is also very noticeable as messy creations behind the initials (especially the 'S'). After doing this I noticed that the piece up to now was too light, it needed to be darker and I need to hide my mistakes and highly noticeable brush tool that didn't quite work. So I then put the same poster (Mirror Shine) in again but this time I put the levels up so that the letters and shapes in the image were black giving it a sort of character to the piece. All of the black bits in the piece are what I just told you. It turned out to look a lot better after I did this. The piece was more or less done but I wanted to have full words instead of just my initials. So I just thought of 'Science Controlled'. And I think the white text on the messed up black and grey background is very effective and completes an extremely eye catching piece.
