mmmmmm... layouts.....


I CHOOSE THESE POSTERS BECAUSE THEY ARE AWESOME. LIKE TOTALLY.

Above are some of my favourite posters; these works follow a very elegant and simple aesthetics, with a clear hierarchy system in place to distinguish the title, subtitle and the main texts. These posters are well controlled and organised by sensible and smart grid systems, which result in these posters being well balanced and very legible. The calendar design on the left, cleverly and clearly displays which months by linking the date of start of the month with the month with a line. The event timetable represents the order of the events in a stairwell form, simple graphics created by repetition of graphic forms. The poster for Muisc Viva is ingenious; the arced black slabs were inspired by the keys on a piano! AMAZING! The dilatational movement of sound waves was the inspiration for the Experimental Music Program Cover. The seamless relationship between the larger title text and the main text in Neville Brody’s poster is the result of a well thought out grid system.


PS. i really wish we had more fonts to choose from.... I HAD TO USE ARIAL... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....
