Swiss Typeface Supporting Poster (Part 1)

I posted last week about the Swiss Typeface I made for my project, well I stated early on that it was always my intention to design some supporting promotional material to show it off. Well, here's a poster I've done today. It's an A3 of lots of different media cleverly mixed through different layers and masks etc. It's been a lot of work, and I've really enjoyed making it. I'll post different sections of the body of work under new posts just to explain more about the images, just to keep it more organised.

So these first four images show the incremental/sectioned elements that make up the overall piece. I started of with a graphic that was built up using lots of different circles and altered rectangles (my intentions were for it to represent the square cross of Switzerland). The third image down you may notice is made of chocolate, this was an effect which I knew quite well and was keen to use for this particular piece. The other two images depict photographs and images that I used in the digital collage, all edited beyond belief... And of course the Typeface itself. The overall feel of the graphics mirror the style of the Typeface; sharp edged, primitive and graphic.
