Five Posters: Experiment in Type

The goal of this project was to explore methods of organizing and experimenting with type to increase awareness of spatial relationships and opportunities for creating hierachy. All information given must appear only once per poster - including punctuation - and should be grouped in a way that is clear, logical {defendable}, and readable, all using only one font, 'Helvetica Neue'.

Individual Poster Goal

• Poster 1: Asymmetrical using only horizontal haselines {unification / isolation}
• Poster 2: Asymmetrical / Diagonial using only 30 degree baselines {direction}
• Poster 3: Flush Left using only horizontal baselines {Texture / Value}
• Poster 4: Flush Right using only horizontal baselines {rhythm}
• Poster 5: Free Placement {spatial depth}
