Loosely based on famous figures

As everything is slowly coming to an end, I just can't let some things go.

As it's been made clear before, I do most of my posters in a solo manner but with the Loose posters it's a little different. I make these with my buddy James as a collaborative project. In fact, it's more of an experiment than it is anything else—we both make posters but we never really do them with each other.

With this, it usually works that James sources and develops the collage, then fires the hefty PSD over my way; I then start building colours, assets, type and the aesthetics for the collage. It's a strange process of two halves, which is often recommended against when working collaboratively; though it works for us.

I keep a hang on this, because I don't want to let go. We're seeing everything finishing around us and this is the one thing that we control the end date of—so for as long as I can hold onto doing the poster, I'll be holding onto working with James on it.

So if you are not quite at the verge of being thrusted into the 'real world' then I would recommend that you work with your friends on something. There is advice to never work with friends, but break that rule. It's difficult, it's strange and it's a learning curve larger than the equator; but DO IT.
