The Smiths cross stitch, scanned

It was my submission for a a recent graphic design course project - we were asked to create a poster based on a song lyric. I chose 'and all my hope is gone' from How Soon Is Now? by The Smiths. Wanting to avoid doing any drawing, I decided to cross stitch the lyric.

 

I haven't cross stitched since I was about ten years old, so I had to relearn it somewhat.

 

This is the scanned version of the project. The original piece is A4 in size, and it was scanned and enlarged to A3.

 

It came out a bit wonky in the scan, but I think I like it like that.
