Broadcasting is an 9″x12″ poster done for Signalnoise’s Retro Poster Competition. We chose to go back in time and advertise for what must have been the cutting edge radio station at that point.

This poster and the Air Traveling one were done for a specific occasion: a contest.

Not any contest. It was the Signalnoise Retro Poster Competition.

Since the number of entries was unlimited, we just ended up doing a triptych. We started with Broadcasting, followed by Air Traveling and finishing with Music Collecting.

We realized afterwards that the size of the contest entries wasn’t matching the ones we selected for 13 Spade, so we recreated them from scratch (keeping your resources folder of a previous project helps tremendously in that case).

A careful selection of open source photos (Flickr and Wikipedia Commons collections), a lot of type goodness (thank you League Gothic), some extra texture as the icing on the cake et voilà.
