How to make it ? (5)

In this case, I put the different type of font, as you know there are three types of the different font I made, first one (2008) with the name is '3 the hardway', second one (calender) with the name is 'air', then the last one (august) with the name is 'technique ol brk'. for those I got from dafont.com, I take it by downloading then just extract to font folder.

for creating that circle I was using Ellipse tool, then I change the stroke line become thick a bit. I give the red color with the linear gradient type, so the light goes to center. Inside the circle I give some words with the name 'not for sale!!'

there are some colors like a rainbow, and the end of part becomes transparant. I give three basic colors each of line color, which are dark, normal and light. An example the blue one, there are dark blue, blue, and light blue. I created it using gradient, then made it more transparant using transparency

This is on 82% progress, in which there are so many combination of color inside, actually it has two background colors inside, brown and old brown (a bit). But I change the transparency become more transparant.

Before started the coloring, I have an idea to put the texture as my background. I got the texture from google.com then moved into A3 paper (Adobe Illustrator). Well, that size of the texture is too small, so I make it bigger with blocking the line area using 'free transform tool' then pull the cursor to each of sides.

tracing line

Those are some sketching I made. In this case, I show two different sketches, on the right side, I still put the sketch inside. That's for helping me to establish the line step by step. in the other case, you can see the left one, there is the tracing lines without sketch, so it looks clearly how to establish the line.
I made it using 'pen tool', for establishing the stright lines (inside the box for the date) I was using 'line segment tool' as my tool, and for creating the circle form (left-up) I used 'ellipse tool'

ROCK YOU ON AUGUST !!

I chose the month of August as my calender, because there are some of music festival get starting. As we know, which are soundrenaline (Indonesia), Glastonbury (British), Summer Sonic '08 (Tokyo). I take summer sonic '08 for mine because there are many performances from some of countries in the whole world, especially band. In this case, Summer sonic '08 falls on 09-10 of August 2008, and it ll be located in Osaka, Japan. You will find a lot of awesome performance from Fat boy Slim, Panic! at the disco, Coldplay and so on. There are performances being held for the couple of the day and every performance is wondering which of these great band would become superstar. Another reason why I take it, basically I love music so much, whatever things that related with it is so nice to reach deeper, as long as that's still positive thing (not like drugs, and get drunk).

And about the design, I'm trying to make the lines completely, and some brightness with the gradient, I have no a good skill to improve the illustration probably, but I should try to come up all. First of all I created the sketch ( you can see at the bottom ). Then I will establish the tracing line, it is complicated a bit, I have to be carefully to do, as a result those are good looking to see and easy to do for the next step (coloring!!)

One of the purpose of this calender is to introduce to public about music festival which due to on August. And this event is always held in a year and it has became one of the routine music events in the world.
