Type As/And Image
Rationale for Project
The posters presented are based on Lemn Sissay’s Some Things I Like. The poem discusses things that most people consider to be undesirable, but beauty is defined differently from person to person. The poem helps people see things from a different perspective which is where I got my inspiration for my poster designs. Many of the things listed in the poem make people uncomfortable such as bitten lips and one bar blues, so my intention for my poster set was to make the viewer uncomfortable. This uncomfortable feeling was achieved through large imagery, san serif typefaces, and clear hierarchy.
Objectives:
Incorporate strong integration of typography and imagery.
Explore the potential of the as image as a communicative power.
