A few weeks ago, a party of the 1970s' has happened at the Silverdale Hotel in Silverdale, Cumbria. I was sorted of there for the party to happen because I was working on my shift in the hotel that night I wasn't able to see the event properly because I was working very hard in the kitchen but despite my stress of helping out it was a very successful night and along with the other staff members that night, my boss Richard said thank you to everyone witnessing the party.
From listening to the music in the kitchen and looking over the other ideas I did for Shelley to create the poster design, I'm thinking of working on a few drawings of the 70s', when I get the free time from work, no party event, no concerts, just something that's related to the 1970s' from movies/tv shows and artists/songs for a little. The reason of doing this is because it was fun doing the ideas from what I know, watch and learn of the 70s' in my own way (including with my parents and grandparents), so doing a few poster-like-drawings would be something I would like to do on my own.

Long after I finished working on the poster/tapestry designs for this years' a staff member of The Silverdale Hotel (Shelley) has asked me to design a poster set in the 1970s' for an upcoming party, later in August. Before I got started, Shelley and I discussed on what should I draw that is from the 70s' movies, t.v., singers, characters, etc... and the information of what to put in the poster design, like:
Rough Idea set: Poster idea 1
Poster idea 2
First Idea set: After getting the poster ideas more detailed, I when to discussed with Shelley on picking two of the best ideas she likes and what changes that she would like to make. Shelley like the second and third poster ideas. What she want to change or add up for both ideas is merge "James Bond" along the gun barrel sequence with the "Death Star" battle, and add in the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO and then add in the pineapple hedgehog. Second Idea set: After that was shortly done, I asked Shelley once again on which one she'd like for her poster she picked the one on the right, this time I worked on it again with more detail and with some colour. First Development: The more I worked on the poster design, the more happier Shelley was at seeing it. What she like me to do next on the final development in put in more colour in the background. So that is what I did next. Final Development: And finally I did one final check with Shelley with on the final design itself, I've been told the only change I need to do is change the colour of the dresses the ladies are wearing. Instead of gold I be using the primary colours (red, blue and yellow). And now I get to work on the final design Photos of Progress (Background): Pineapple Hedgehog: Dancing ladies and the Droids (R2-D2 and C-3PO): Rich man/Austin Powers: What I have done is split the poster into four drawing, so I could get a lot better detail and composition for the design. Final drawings: As soon as I got the drawings finished and scanned, I put them straight onto photoshop step by step. Making the drawings more visible and adjust to colour and brightness. Photoshop Adjustments: Almost had one or two misses, while I was creating the poster but I was able to get them sorted and then over the work with Shelley before printing it out and handing over to her to make copies of them. The final poster design of "The 70's: So far, Shelley has made one copy to display near the main entrance to the Silverdale Hotel. By now she would have made a few more and place them across Silverdale itself for locals and visitors to see, I won't have a chance to see any of them this week because I'm away, so I'll be checking them out on way on my next work shift next week. If anyone is interested in going the info is on the poster.
