Old Matchbook design

I created a quick vintage matchbook design for my band Lorenzo's Music using gimp.

First I got a scan of an old matchbook.



I scanned the screen printed version of our album cover.

Truthfully the screen print is what will help the design.

I pasted it on a new layer and with the erase tool set to Confetti Brush, wore away the edges.


And there it is.


I'm thinking of customizing the matchsticks to use as navigation for a website redesign.

New Flyer design

Image
I'm still on my "matchbook cover designs" kick and just created this flyer for an upcoming show my band Lorenzo's Music has on Jan. 17, 2009 in Madison based on a matchbook I saw. It was just an off kilter two-tone repeating square design. I set it up once again in the free vector program, Inkscape . I simply just created a black background and drew a large cream colored square on the left side. Then copied it, paste, move it over, change color, repeat. When I had them all on the left side, I pasted the original square I had on top. I replaced the color with a cloth texture I had and set the opacity to 25% and blurred it .05%. Then I copied all of that, pasted it and moved the new pasted squares to the right side. Next, I added the text in white. Copied the text, pasted it on top of itself and also filled that new layer with the cloth texture an set the opacity to 25% an blurred this to 1% to give it a glow look. And there ya go. The End :)
