I wanted to have fun with the project and do a sports poster. The Brewers were in the playoffs. The Bucks just built a new arena in downtown Milwaukee. For the typography, I used a typeface similar to the Bucks' actual typeface. The script font gives the poster contrast and it’s a representation of the city of Milwaukee. In the center, the black shadow is actually the word “Bucks.” The “Fear the Deer” slogan act as a texture in the background.
