This was another city-wide youth event/outreach, with a very specific theme: a Masquerade Ball complete with masks and music. Ricky Proehl, quarterback for the Carolina Panthers was a special guest, but they didn’t want to give the night any sort of “sports” theme. I decided to go with an antique, grunge, organic feeling to the card, and was able to find some great assets for the design. The Masquerade masks were purchased from iStock Photo and I also used an image I have from the first printing of the Gutenburg Bible for some texture. The typeface used for the heading is one that’s getting overused now on blogs, but back when created this card, it was a fresh spin on grunge fonts. You can find the typeface at dafont by searching for Bleeding Cowboys.
Very cool. I like the masks. The font's cool too. Yes, I see it a lot but I don't think it's “tired” yet. Nice job!
Thanks! Good ol' Bleeding Cowboys. Oh, and the other font that's being used there is one called Marcelle. It simulates classic surfer tee shirt typefaces. It's another surprisingly versatile font.
