hide's Psychedelic Pink Spider Guitar Pick




Create a label for a celebrity with the emphasis on typography. Do not use recognizable imagery. Background can take the shape of something but must be of a single solid colour. No tints, no shades. Using an existing font, match it to qualities inherent in your chosen celebrity and create a label that will market an item that might be a product from the chosen celebrity's own product range.

Didn't have much trouble choosing a celebrity. Those who know me will know its pretty much self-explanatory.

Hideto Matsumoto - aka hide.


Introducing:
hide's Psychedelic Pink Spider Guitar Pick.
(white areas to be trimmed out)
It folds down the middle so its coloured on both sides. Guitar pick goes on the space just under his name on the right hand side. I had to tweak the font sizes of the words "Psychedelic", "Pink" and "Spider" and track them inwards so that it doesn't look so... wrong. Anyway, no physical manipulations have been inflicted on the type, merely reflections, rotations, and changes in font size.

A prize for anyone who can guess the typeface.
(It's definitely one of your default fonts in both Mac and PC.)

*even though I exported it in RGB, the colours still don't exactly match what I have on screen. Hmmm... anyway the pink is definitely more concentrated - like hide's hair, and the yellow is essentially the same as his Burny Yellow Heart.
