1st Visit to the Watts Towers Art Center

This Weekend I visited the Watts Towers Art Center. The towers are just amazing but once you take the tour and do some research every corner of the place is full with history, love & art. I will highly recommend you visit the Watts Towers and take the tour, you will find your self surrounded by culture and art.

Here are some of the pictures I took during my visit.






































Stage 2 the Roughs drafts
Here are the ideas before getting to the computer design stage.










The Next face on draft were more defined and detailed.











































The Next Step is working on the computer, using ilustrator and Photoshop to create the desired look  for my poster. 





































I decided to try new ideas an move a little out of my comfort zone. trying maybe something completely different from from the original ideas.







































































The final Set of drafts were more defined, and with a set idea. some small variations made on each getting the design ready for the final product.







































































Now for the Final design. I decided to go for a clean, simple design. I used a combinaion of a picture and a vector image. added some retouching on the colors on the tower. On the colors and textres used on the letters for the "UAP" were based on the mosaics also find on the Watts Towers art center.
*please give me some feed back, thank you for the comments =)

    COmments:
    PERHAPS THE HEADING IS TOO BOLD – Brodovich is more elegant
    What is the size of your text – Futura is a large typeface – so you can reduce it and reduce the leading.
    WHERE is the tower on the road way –
    The other tower on the right could be chopped off.
    They are not working yet – the lightness of the right heading works – even use the U as a way of breaking up the text
