latest edition of the Bon Bon Maison flyer series...

[Alex Traska]

Since the great reception of the first in the Bon Bon Maison series, i've been posting the new design each month. So here's the next, once again keeping in with the concept of a "fairytale" style image with a modern twist made to looking like (hopefully) it's an old print that is wearing off the page slightly and fading due to age....

I really like it, mostly. I still feel that you have a tendency to track your type just a little too tight, but that being said, even with the tight tracking, I think you could balance the kerning on some of the pairs a little bit better than you have it now. Slab serifs have always been a beeotch to kern, though, in my experience, so it can often be an arduous task.

I feel like the jelly beans are added as an afterthought this time. They're only seen in 1 spot - perhaps scatter them around a little. They should be included on both sides to make this a little more "bon bon".

Lovely work though. As always :)

i love the texture of the paper... i've been after a texture like that for ages... where did you get it from or didja make it yourself? :)

[Alex Traska]

thanks for the comments. :)

the paper texture originally comes from www.stockxpert.com and has then been edited fairly heavily to add "dirty" areas, a lighter central area and overall hue.
