27 Club, Posters Ideas, Kurt Cobain

I came up with the idea of using more than one large image, to use a selection of images, of that person, 27 images if I want to get smart about it, with the same text over the top.

Building the images;

Started by getting the 27 images I needed, and putting them all into Illustrator, I tried putting them just any where but it wasn't working to well so I tried lining them up, equally gapped and making sure the better picture where around the middle for the audience to see, and then making a cropping mask, and the I can do what I want to do over the top;

My idea behind these three was to have the same text and boarders as the initial posters and messing with the opacity, here we have the opacity turned to 60% 70% & 80%. Personally I feel the 80% works best for this situation, cause it stands out and you can read the text alot better.

I tried messing about with colour, so here you can see I have took the main colours of the design and swapped them about having a green background with white text & a white background with green text, seeing if either of them work.

From having the idea of swapping colours, I thought about cutting out the text so it can see through to the images in the background, I don't think it works very week cause it isn't very easy to read the text, but it was worth having a look into.

I tried looking into how it would look with out the boarders, and on a personal view I feel it works alot stronger, less is more, and to me it seems to be right in this case.


I thought the boarders where to large and to much for the images, so I have shortened them down to lines, bold line. I do feel they work alot better, but my solid favourite is still the one with just text.

I feel the green works well for the Kurt posters, its a strong look, I chose the colour due to what I think of them when I see them.
