5 Design Layouts

The following images are a collection of posters and magazine layouts that evoke movement through the use of typography.



Pages from Harper’s Bazaar of the 40s and 50s. The art director of Harper’s Bazaar at the time, Alexey Brodovitch’s approach consisted of layouts containing large areas of white space with varying sizes of typography and imagery for the purpose of creating a sense of rhythmic movement.

The following three layouts use 3D graphics and type which contributes largely to movement.Similarity can be seen with their use of the page. There is barely if not any white space and with that demands your attention with bold font, bright colours which result in large movement.

This piece was very interesting. Unlike the layouts above, text has not been manipluated or 3D graphics and type have not been used and yet this piece evokes movement.It is not as bold nor does it utilise much of the white space but it still demands our attention.Designed by: Craig WardThis piece was very interesting.
