Frank Sinatra
Day 64
#76 – Francis Albert ‘Frank’ Sinatra (1915–1998). Also known as ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’. American singer and film actor. Albums include: In the Wee Small Hours (1955), Songs For Swingin’ Lovers (1956) and Sinatra At the Sands (1966).
Ol’ Blue Eyes is so distinctive this became my starting point. I arranged the words to work well in the space and kept them simple and bold. Colour was an obvious choice. But what to do to add that little extra? Thinking about eyes, I realised the apostrophe reminded me of a smiley or emoticon.
