milwaukee crimethinc convergence flier making competition

mario_buda

It was suggested that there be a flier made for this upcoming crimethinc convergence in Milwaukee that we have a new flier made with the redirect point and be able to distribute them at the pReNC 5.3.

The winner will recieve the knowledge that they're design was strewn across the country.

Here are important details that need to be included:

date: july 16th - 20th

Redirect point: Gordon park (located at locust and humboldt, Milwaukee, WI 53212)

National info: Crimethincbooking@yahoo.com

RSVP: blowedupwisconsin@gmail.com

Updates: crimethinc.com

Some ideas for themes that were brainstormed and could be incorporated into a design were: building momentum for the upcoming RNC, seeing it as something else that is used to build momentum and enable going beyond that, a calm before the storm, a culmination of projects, individuals and their desires that builds into a hydra head of anarchy (something anarchists have been called in Milwaukee historically) or other monsters capable of fighting capitalism and anything that restrains these desires, as well sharpening our skills and building affinity.

That looks pretty good Mario. I wonder how well it will look in black and white though. Have you tried darkening the text and silhouettes while lightening slightly the telephone pole/wires?

Otherwise, I really dig the layering and your use of clouds.

I should have probably just made it black and white, but wasn't thinking for some reason. I'll desaturate it and see how it looks when I get a chance. Feel free to make other designs if you have free time. I don't and can guess that you don't really either.
