Warm Distortion

Hair by sea breeze.

Profile of a woman with long rainbow-striped flowing hair and flowers, eyes closed, against swirling orange waves. Psychedelic poster, "Palm Beach / County" in bubble lettering.

The Story

In August, heat over Ocean Avenue bends air above pavement. By mid-afternoon colors run saturated, slightly unstable. Waves, hair, and sky share one repeated contour. The figure keeps her eyes closed against the glare.

The Making

  • Posterized color bands developed in Photoshop in seven value steps, then the flowing contour system rebuilt in Illustrator as repeating vector paths at consistent spacing.
  • Bubble lettering drawn by hand, vectorized, and set to period poster conventions.
  • Grain added as a final screen layer.
