After last month's excellently researched specs, this month it's back to normal. The theme is TOURISM and all you need to do is produce a travel poster enticing the viewer to visit your locale.

If you live in a shithole, do one for a town within a 100 mile radius of home. Illustration may be photographic or vector art - whatever - but all your own work. If you think it worthwhile, include details useful to visitors, e.g. the web address of the local tourist office.

Size/proportions A0, deadline last weekend in March, say midnight Saturday 31st. I'm not fussy.

Travel poster for Finnair, drawn in 1961 by Erik Bruun

Anything is possible! Hick, Allanson (artist); Jordison & Co Ltd (printer); British Railways, Eastern Region
about 1952

Nice, where did you get the pic from?

scrooble · 22-02-2012, 22:29

My camera! Took that on the weekend I proposed to my lass

LittleMick · 22-02-2012, 22:52

Congrates Scooby. Not sure if I already heard this. Ignore my ramblings if I did.

Lovely.

Great work Scrobbles

jamblo · 23-02-2012, 01:06

Great, that.

StisterMeve · 23-02-2012, 09:41

I like it the way it is, minus the ellipsis. Nice work.

jamblo · 23-02-2012, 10:25

I must be over-tired... I'm sure I wrote "not sure about the ..." or something like that earlier.

scrooble · 23-02-2012, 10:28

You did Jim, I just had a clean up on the advice (and kept the praise

)

jamblo · 23-02-2012, 11:07

Ah! Thought I was losing it.

key_uk · 23-02-2012, 15:22

Nice that.

Very nice that, screwball.

I like that, but it seems some sort of inside joke? It would make me Google the area (which I did) but the text still seems a little too "insider" oriented for tourism advertising. That opinion may very well be because I'm not from the UK, but I still know what roundabouts are since they've brought the fucking things here lately >.<

StisterMeve · 23-02-2012, 17:03

Yeah, I didn't exactly over-think this. It is a piss-take, basically, but I was so happy with my pun that I couldn't see past it.
