Day 46: Rubbings

Texture adds tactile quality to flat designs. Instead of downloading textures, collect your own: pencil rubbings of tree bark, scanned fabric, photographed concrete. Textures you have gathered carry a story, and they make your work look different from everyone using the same free texture pack.

Objective. Gather original textures and use them to add depth to a poster.

Collect five textures from your surroundings and design a poster for a hiking club using at least three of them.

• All textures must be collected by you — rubbings, scans or photographs
• Use at least three textures
• Maximum three colours

• Original textures used intentionally
• Textures enhance rather than clutter
• A clear link to the subject

Create letterforms entirely from your textures.
