#typefaceposter

Within my poster design I placed a small information text box in the bottom right hand corner so the audience has a breif understanding of what I want my type face to convey. Sitting above this is the subtitle that has the name of my typeface.

Helvetica, known to be perfect, it is celebrated as a work of art. This widely used sans-serif typeface was developed by Swiss designer Max Miedinger in 1957. Notable Helvetica features include a tall x-height and unusually tight spacing between letters. Over the years, a wide range of variants have been released in different weights, widths and sizes. Now, you almost see it everywhere without even realising it.

I went with blueprints as the basis for my poster, connecting everything (the typeface) together by lines, using small measurement groupings to give the impression of scale, using the lines on the blueprint backing as my guides. The use of planes in different tone really finished off the poster nicely. 

I instantly had a rough idea of what i was going to be doing for this project when it was assigned to me, just was very undecided on what typeface to base it on! A few Jeff Jukes later i knew instantly how to implement my idea and what Typeface i would be using. Having a look at this Baskerville poster by KOYOOX, i knew that it was the typeface that had the most character and.... it was very close to the idea i had in my head.
