Two versions. One with a ghost, one with an invisible ghost. Both are getting a hit of glow-in-the-dark ink over the ghost's profile.

Hey! These are great. I wonder which version you ran with? I like the one with the 'visible' ghost, that extra area of intrest adds balance to the composition, I think. The color choices on this really appeal to me as well. I like that you went for a kind of monochrome look but used the blues instead of gray or sepia tones. Good stuff!
Hey, thanks Siolo,
We printed both versions and hit both of them with the glow-in-the-dark paint. I like the one without the ghost outline better, I think, because the viewer has to "solve" it a little more. But I like both of them. Glad you like the colors too. I thought the blue felt snowy, you know?
Yes, note to self 'blue for winter themed work'. Asking the viewer to solve for the ghost... I can see where you are going with that, you must trust your audience more than I do. It's something I've been thinking about a fair bit, trying to leave a little more to the imagination in my own work. Well, cheers and I look forward to your future posts :)
I like this a lot. Nice textures and a woodcut feel to it. I almost missed the very subtle book overlay you added which keeps it interesting. Nice idea to put the title as the business shingle. Color is nice, suggesting the bitter cold. I wish you could somehow post a third and fourth graphic,... photos of the final designs so we can truly get the Glow-in-the-dark ink and how it transformed the final designs.
Very clean; not a lot of type to booger up a nice design. I do this type of thing too and most of my clients want dates to be seen from the street. Good job, sir!
