This is a Pro Bono piece I created with Art director
Denver Eastman at
draft fcb.
It is in support of
Nabs: The National Advertising Benevolent Society which is a charitable organization that provides assistance to folks in the communications industry, who need help due to illness, injury, unemployment or financial difficulties.
I created the scritchy background by scanning in one of my silk screen prints. I then drew the boat, water and lettering by hand and then layered them in using photoshop.
I LOVE how Denver
included his type in a torn piece of paper. It adds texture and a nice spontaneous feel to the poster. It also reminds me of Paul Rand's collage work - which is always a good thing.
Below are 2 other ideas I submitted during the sketch process.

I like the mix of Victorian advertising cuts (the boat) and crayon.

This was influenced by the film titles of Saul Bass.
I like the use of a very high horizon line.
