Hey everyone!

It' s been quite a while since I posted here. I study communication design now and have to admit that I do alot of my stuff in Photoshop, but I still love GIMP

This is the project I' ve been working on recently. I' m creating letters by taking photos with an exposure of 4-5 seconds in the dark and drawing them with a flashlight. These are the ones I' ve done so far with some made up words to see how they would work in a text structure.

I also started making something like an ad for it, taking a photo of a passing car in the dark. The poster is still a WIP, especially placing the text is causing problems. I' m thinking of just ditching it completely too. Feel free to give some advice

Very nice. My friends did this once. They went to a nearby covered bridge, put a flashlight on the end of a stick, and traced the outline of the structure best they could. It didn't turn out perfect, but it was still cool.

Very cool project SkyRoma, I'd love to see more of what you are working on.

Thanks, I took the shot of the car on saturday night. Originally I only wanted to go out and take the photos I needed, but it turned out to be so much fun that I walked around town with the camera and tripod for atleast 2 hours:D

the letters look really cool !
i like the graffiti effect you get from the light-calligraphy

the poster idea for the passing car is great as well
i would do the lights coloured and the rest b/w

reminds me of the biker scene from Akira, which is still awesome !

Thanks for the feedback:) Below is the original photo. I' d rather keep it all B/W, as you see the lights are pretty much white in the original anyway. I' m now changing the format of the poster by making it longer in the vertical and placing the text below the motive. I noticed that I just can' t place it within because it just gets too distracting.

Done, I think
