For this project, City First Youth requested a design to advertise their Summer Camp Hype Night event which gave a preview for their upcoming Summer Camp. To start this design, I searched through photos from previous years of the event and found multiple group photos from the services. Inspired by the look of a VCR camera, I then used displacement maps and the warp tool to emulate a VCR tape being rewinded or sped up. To add more authenticity to the design, I added a horizontal line texture as well as some noise to make it feel even more like it was on a TV screen. Since the original photos had lots of variation in color, I added a distinct blue overlay to make the image more visually interesting and to provide a better backdrop for the text to be displayed on. Finally, to finish off the design I added the details of the event. Again, I used a VCR font for the name of the event and made it a bright yellow to imitate text on an old VCR tape. For the rest of the text I used a simple sans serif font and placed it in a black square to draw more attention to the name of the event. Finally I added some grain to the image to make everything more cohesive.
