These are only quickly done while I work out the overall style and how to make use of the limitations of A6 and a huge circle in the middle of my page. I should have started with St. Werburghs as that's the most challenging in terms of word length and splitting up the words to create a layout. Thankfully 'Bird-Cage-Walk' splits up in a convenient way.
The halftone type is pre-existing (called 'Dirty Halftone' - all caps), though I'm looking at creating something like this with the halftone dots revealing the image (something crossed between the 2nd and 3rd postcard):

Please excuse the Myriad Pro for the band and song name - it was chosen Sarah Records style (ie. it was the first one there). I'm currently looking at type to use for the postcard. Having a look at vintage Letraset transfers and the fonts they used. These for example are very err... ornate:

These show how they are used and have a few more typefaces that are less 'visually challenging' :-D :


The title font is Arial, for the record.
