A1 Poster Finals

All three final type posters using Neuzeit Grotesk. (Type Specimen, Personal Response, Personal Identity.)The aesthetic of all three posters is focused on simplicity and clean lines, following the form of the typeface Neuzeit Grotesk. The final poster design is a little more graphic as it helps to emphasise the specific theme of the poster. The connection in this series lies in the grid system - the relationship is indicated where the body text is positioned, and through the repeated diagonal composition. The similarity of muted and subtle colour choices also allows the viewer to notice a flow amongst the three posters.

As with the type specimen - refining the grid layout to create a connection between all three posters.

T.S. Refinement 04

 

Made some changes to the type specimen, building on a similar grid as the developed third poster.

 Not sure about that textured overlay. Text to be included: poem. 

The book and and air balloon too literal?

What's more personal than using your own drawings. Playing around with different images and shapes.... no text.

P.I. Concept 05

Reminds me of something out of a Dr. Seus book. Very simplistic design, with flat colour and large shapes... Could work on this more.

Curly girl.
I seem to be focusing more on the imagery than the composition and grid. Text does not look appealing.

This has a surfer vibe... not really me...

P.I. Concept 01

 

Concept for CMYK poster about 'personal identity'. I've used a section of my own painting to illustrate the idea that 'form follows fiction', this connects with the previous theme in the 2nd poster. I don't think using a texture for the background is a good idea.. . and the placement of the text is not very interesting.

P.I. Speed poster

 

1 hour exercise in class today. We had to create a black/white personal identity poster using an image of ourselves. It was good to get see what we could come up with on the spot.

T.S. and P.R. Refinement

 

Refinements for both posters, 1 and 2.The overall look is flat and simplified, emphasising the 'form follows function' philosophy. I will move onto the third and final poster now, and depending on how it turns out, the previous posters may be further developed.
