Process and Production - Typesetting Two: Posters.

For the second session with Aiden, we were asked to create 3 posters. The rules where to only use 3 sizes of type, and the posters had to be typography based, without creating any vector work for yourself with the pen tool etc. We were given 


The first poster i created was for the acoustic club. I decided to create a guitar out of type. This is probably my least favourite of the trio i created.


For the Wilson Republic poster, we were given the logo as well as the text that should be included on the poster. It has to match the brand of wilson republic based on the examples that we were given. I think that i have created a strong simple poster in this case, which works with the brand. 


Finally, we were asked to create a poster based on an artist or collaborative group that we like. I decided to base my work on a piece by Experimental Jetset who is a small, independent, graphic design company based in Amsterdam. I used glyphs in order to create a more interesting background, and used Helvetica in upper case as well as lower case.
