Designing posters became one of my favorite graphic design assignments, a factor which no doubt contributed to my usage of them in my senior exhibit.
For this assignment in my typography class, we were tasked with creating a three-piece series of posters depicting type anatomy. I wanted mine to not only be cohesive but also conjoining, so I made the choice to illustrate the anatomy of a single word broken up into three separate parts. With our posters printed out and hung up side by side, I successfully achieved the effect I was going for.
In my first typography class, we were each assigned a font to research and apply said research into informational posters. One aspect of the criteria included displaying the entirety of the font, both alphabetical and numerical.
For my senior project, I chose to focus on a topic I'm very passionate about - current film creativity, or lack thereof. As posters and movies go hand in hand, I thought them to be a good medium to use for the project. More about my senior showcase can be found here.
A fun project we did in one of my typography classes was designing two posters based on a six word memoir we were to come up with. The first was meant to relate to us personally, while the second had looser requirements.
One of our routine assignments in typography was being assigned a topic which we had to prepare a presentation for in front of the class, and another which we had to design educational posters for. As seen in some of my previous work, my designs followed a consistent yet differed pattern.
