Pedro Lucena


These two links below have to be a couple out of many of my favourites of Lucena's work. I love the interesting and creative patterns.

Northfield Posters







My first plan was to decide how I wanted the poster to look; I wanted a symbol to represent ‘Fun’ so I went for an obvious idea of balloons as I felt children will quickly relate to this. I knew I had to place ‘Northfield Church Fun Day’ on the poster somewhere along with time, day and short address. I decided to have the title across the balloons and designed my own font, which deliberately I created very detailed, and in black and white, as I wanted to incorporate my style in some way on the poster. I also decided to write some of the events that would take place, such as bouncy castle, face painting, games and crafts. The colour scheme was definitely the hardest decision as I imagined lots of it to make it look exciting and appealing to the children, but at the same time I wanted it to be bold, clear and not clash the colours. I had an idea to add details to the balloons, I felt this was a way of including my patterns but at the same time will make the poster more interesting.

Searching...

Still searching for someone I could interview and possible meet but no one nearby! Found Pedro Lucena, who's work is exactly like the style I am interested in...however he lives in Brazil! Considering emailing him though to see if he could answer some questions for me...
