In the first trimester of 2018 I was tasked with creating a poster for “Letters in The Environment”, a theoretical exhibit at the museum of contemporary art. We had to use Helvetica and were limited to use of 2 colours. We were also given a large letter printed on paper to use as our subject.
I decided to have my letter within the greenery and rock of a creek. I thought the more natural shapes of the plants and rocks would contrast well with the artificial lines of the text.
The text is purposefully cut off at the edges of the poster to emphasise the weight and importance of the text without making the text itself too bold.
The secondary text is placed in a way to create space and a bit more room to breathe, helping alleviate how imposing the primary text can be.
“SUB” is a hypothetical magazine i’ve created a cover and a few spreads for in my free time. It’s based around distorted and glitched out Imagery with a focus on chaos and a certain sense of lost hope. Much of the pages feature a lot of databending, a method of distorting images that creates unpredictable and interesting designs.
