"A side project exploring graphic design in a public space ""Graphic design work that is typographic and pertaining to your native language or dialect is encouraged. The one rule is that the poster(s) should be black & white ONLY. If there is bleed, please include crop marks. Everything else is up to you — content, theme, etc. Also, please remember that the space is public. Poster(s) will be printed on white bond paper."
- usually type based
- original typefaces
- strong use of grid systems
- W50 3/4"x H39 1/2" concrete slab, fitting up to two W25 3/8"x H39 1/2"
Oripeau
- usually image-based
- images often made up using grid systems (pixel art?)
- type images often make references to images
- merging patterns
- W175cm x H91cm. You do not need to cover the entire panel (like everyone else). Feel free to experiment with something new.
Ficciones Typografika / Erik Bandt
Dedicated to exploring typography in public space - its effects.
"The poster was made for people, to be viewed at a human scale, intimately and also from a distance. It's a medium entirely devoted to life as a human, however distant that concept has become in our world."
The point of exploring typography in public spaces is to design work that is meant to be viewed in a larger scale as the work is then evident up close and from a distance. Exploring how that public space will affect the meaning of your poster or how will a viewer understand it?
"The project offers a platform for type and graphic designers to create one-off experiments to be produced as posters"
one-off experiments is interesting to explore as it suggests that this work may only be able to work in this context or its an experiment into how it translates in a public space
Interesting posters/processes
oripeau - by @gwendolineblosse
idea of using bitmap layering method to create texture and gradients
contrasts with the depiction of nature
oripeau - by jean-francois magre
ripped newspaper - connotes idea of deterioration/worn out.
could be used to suggest topic isn't cared about
oripeau - by ateliar la casse
original typeface directly representing the word that is displayed
simplicity is effective
using lines to create shadow
oripeau - by @benoitbodhuin
quote reads "the invention of writing is not really a movement or a school but rather a reaction against academism and society"
all text based - original typeface to contribute to importance of quote being about the invention of writing. it represents the rejection of standardisation by being experimental and sometimes illegible.

the use of symbols rather than text to work as text would is impactful as its unexpected
the message isn't clear - does it need to be?
toofprints - by nicholas laughlin
blocking out text in an article - saying something different
toofprints - by jack walsh
use of blank space - does a poster have to be filled up?
toofprints - by @rmraffinity
conceptual approaches to exploring theme
his theme is humour, image and text work together to suggest "f-bomb" text seems to imitate pronunciation rather than grammar - affects how viewer understands it
use of two posters and grids affecting how it's read (current mood... but i won't") is this a problem? could two images work together
