I had so much fun with Michelle Ward's Street Team challenge last month that I'm once again participating. This month the challenge is to cut or tear typography text and use composition techniques to place on a page or two. I made a two-page spread in my art journal as I did last month. I tend to like to cohesiveness of a two-page spread. I was a little short on newspapers and mags and such to find cool typography and so was relegated to my daughter's discarded teen mags. I found quite a few cool and very colorful, albeit youthful texts.
I noticed that the messages in the teen mags are getting more and more positive, uplifting and encouraging. Lots of color, energy and fun with a focus on the possibilities of life.Very cool!
I just ordered some cool stencils and would like to paint and/or spray over the top of these, but will have to wait until they get here.
Thanks, Michelle! Another fun challenge. I can't wait until next month to see what else you have up your sleeve!
Hi Kari Yes you've got some great colours there. Can't wait to see what happens next on this page!
ReplyDeleteSuch colourful positivity & we certainly all need a dose of that everyday!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours..... and the positive messages..... look forward to seeing what you do when your stencils arrive.
ReplyDeleteWill you show what type of stencils you get please? I love the type of spray stenciling Michelle does but haven't a clue as to what type of stencils to look for?

ReplyDeleteKari - wow! Lots of fun color and type on your spread. Cool to learn they came from teen mags. Lots of great energy. Stencils on the way? *faints* You will have a gas!
