Design Movement Posters

This was a fun project because we got to do all of our own research and copy for the final design, of which we usually don't ever get to do. The project brief was to create two posters that reflected the design movement that we had to research while still holding some similarity between the two, I was assigned the International Typographic Style or (Swiss Style) and New Wave Typography.
I got pretty lucky as you will see, these were both pretty great movements to play around with.

The first poster I will show is International Typographic Style

The International Typographic Style was all about following the grid, overlaying type over photos and setting it on it's side. The grid is decidedly shown on this poster as to reflect the grid structure of the I.T.S.

The next poster reflects New Wave Typography, which was a movement that essentially broke all of the rules that I.T.S put into place, i.e. the grid structure.

I decided to use the exact same layout as I did the first poster, but I broke the structure that the first poster holds. I broke off parts of the type because in the New Wave the inclusion of mistakes were stylistic choice, and something that made the style unique to what it was.

This project was a lot of fun and I feel that it came out successful in the end. But just like any of my other projects, I'm keeping it up for revision, and hope to eventually improve them.

Thats all for now, I might post about my current typography project in the future, so stay tuned!
