Sakuracon design

Design for Sakuracon, a Hungarian anime convention held in May, 2007.

This is not the final version, but the one I liked most from the near final drafts — you know how it goes with clients (especially if they’re your friends ;) ), they sometimes ask for ridiculous things and take liberties with removing or adding elements that you know shouldn’t be tackled. :shrug: But that’s how the world works. :D

As for the pinks and magentas and such: they are used at the client’s request (again). My first few (! :D ) versions used darker and bluish schemes to contrast the picture of the header that I was given and told to use by the client… then I switched to a lighter scheme, and finally arrived at this, after long emails and such… :D Maybe someday I’ll upload some earlier mockups.

Extra credits: the image of the header, as I’ve said, was provided by the client, MAT (Magyar Anime Társaság, Hungarian Anime Society), and was drawn by some member of theirs. I’ll try to get their name and update this text here asap. The image they supplied does not include the logotype… that was me, trying to fit something onto the image.

All in all, this is quite not me, not my style, but I think it’s not bad. A pity the final version that went live is even lighter. :D
