Bugsy Malone-29/06/15-Lessons 5+6

Lesson 5:
First of all I sourced the cursive font for The Lord Will Provide sign (Freebooter Font) from an online website, however I found the font was even thinner than the original one. Then I tried using a thicker font called Candy Inc that I also found online, however this one looked too modern and not biblical or cursive enough. Mrs de Lancy Green liked the original font.

Lesson 6:
I continued searching for fonts that I needed for the rest of the signs on the internet. I marked out what signs still needed fonts on my final projection sheet with an orange pen. First of all I found a new more rugged textured font for Dock 17, which Mrs de Lancy Green had seen and didn't like the original one.

Final Dock 17
Then I starting creating the Book Emporium sign by using a box with a fill and added boarder on Illustrator and then copying it as a smart object into Photoshop.
Then I inputted the text straight from the wording of the script, then I made the font colour yellow/burnt orange and embossed it on effects to create a gold plated look.
'Book Emporium' is gold plated
Once the gold plating was finished it was clear the sign needed more texture, so I layered the rust picture on top of the sign and lowered the fill and transparency of it. Then I made it greyscale for the final projection.
