TRAVEL

POSTERS

Blame hipsters, nostalgia or simply a rediscovered love for all things retro: old-style travel posters are back. I have long admired the beautifully crafted vintage railway  posters and decided to recreate a series of my own representing some of my favourite locations in the UK.

Using Photoshop’s filter gallery I set about converting photographs I had already captured into an illustration / painting evocative of the classic artwork of the period. Particular care was taken to match, typeface, colour scheme and layout style to complete the final look. A series of these bespoke travel posters now hang on my dining wall.

Manchester Posters

Manchester is a city renowned for its culture and sense of civic pride, where there is an insatiable appetite for all things Mancunian. Merchandise of all types is widely available, with posters - which pay homage to the classic travel poster - proving particularly popular. I trawled through my own archive of Manchester photography and created a series of posters promoting and sometimes ridiculing our great city. This turned to be a really enjoyable mini project, giving a new lease of life to some forgotten images.
