I wanted my background to have a realistic feel - with a reflection on the quotes that I really liked as well as a vintage feeling to them from colour, tone and type. Using Illustrator I created multiple layers of typography using quotes and different styles, all in black. I then added in photos and created everything into a single group/ After experimenting with layouts I added sepia over lays with blending shadows from the edges in to create vintage looking and retro inspired back ground for me to use as a basis to work on top of. I used layering's of photos on top in black and white and played with translucency to see how effective pieces were and if things blended in or stood out. For my photos I wanted them to stand out as I used them to represent my illustrations. I found that making the background more transparent meant that the lettering and background could still be seen and read but at the same time kept the photos (representing illustrations) in the foreground too.
And below, I show my working out!
