Rocky Mountain Gothic Colorado Arts and Crafts Poster

Robert Meyers-Lussier · Digital Art - Digital Poster Art From Original Photography

Rocky Mountain Gothic: Colorado Arts and Crafts Poster carries the visual identity of the Plated Jams single into the tradition of hand-lettered national park promotion. The design borrows from Arts and Crafts printing and early twentieth-century park advertising, where botanical corner ornaments, deep forest greens, aged gold rules and letterpress-weight serif type did the work that photography does now. Blue columbines anchor the four corners, painted peaks and conifer stands frame the release artwork, and a two-lane road curves through the valley below toward Glen Haven and Estes Park. A frosted cinnamon roll seal sits at the lower right, an honest nod to the reason people take that particular road.
