Poem Panels

So, I’m currently working on something a bit different…Poem Panels. 

So, what in the world are “Poem Panels”?

This is a bit of a Graphic Design project with a twist.  The client asked for three different  poems to be written out on three panels to be placed as the backdrop in a living room built-in shelf.  Each poem represents each of the family’s three children and the corresponding photo of each child will be in front of the poem.  These are fairly large about 52×24 inches each.  Okay, that may be hard to visualize…I’ll post photos when it is all said and done.  This will give you a basic idea.

Poem Panel Sample Layout

I am going at this project electronically.  I’ve used Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to lay out the Poems and get the colors right.  There is still some tweaking to be done.  I’ve also gone through hundreds of fonts to find the “right” look.  I will be printing these in Giclee quality, mounting to panels, and then applying a clear finish to protect and give a painterly look and texture.  Next, install the panels in the built-in shelf.

This is a fantastic idea that the client had, she just was unsure of how to make it happen.  I am thrilled to make her vision become a reality!

Live well,
Rob
