Further Research into Posters

After the tutorial with David, he suggested I look at the website typographicposter.com, to give me more ideas to further develop my posters and to further be more experimental with hierarchy and design aesthetic.

These posters are a mixture of posters I was drawn to, I came across a few posters created by various graphic designers – Neubad, est 2012/Luzern, Switzerland.

“I admire the graphic collective that originated around Neubad Luzern. The venue is often advertised with posters created by various graphic designers. These posters are very experimental and contemporary in their style …. right now, this is the place where the most up to date graphic design comes to life and way than you and bold visuals trends emerge.”

1^st Poster – “Neubad Uber Wasser Halten”, 2021

• use of negative space
• symmetry
• distortion of words but still readable
• sans serif typeface
• modern and contemporary

2^nd Poster – “Dessin Contemporain & Populaire”, 2011

• black visuals against a white background – creates contrast
• pink coloured sans serif typeface, gives depth and contrast – highlights important information but also doesn’t compete with the visuals

3^rd Poster – “Neubad Uber Wasser Halten”, 2021

• Distorted typeface – liquefied effect
• make sure my think of what the poster is actually saying

4^th Poster – “Vitrin Rooz”, 2009

• accent colour works well to give contrast
• linear typeface/visuals is quite interesting as a visual in itself
• small section for information

5^th Poster – “Blazer”, 2020

• checkered illusion as a background – gives a distorted effect
• stretched horizontal typeface being consumed by the background – almost like an illness/growth
• monochrome colour palette

• Monochrome colour palette
• simple sans serif typeface
• linear visuals throughout the white portion of the poster

7^th Poster – “Gig Poster by Quim Marin Studio”

• Serif typeface, using punctuation as a background with interchanging colours which creates contrast
• simple but yet effective in getting the message they want across

8^th Poster – “Neubad Uber Wasser Halten”, 2021

• futuristic aesthetic
• monochrome colour palette
• distortion and abstract feel

9^th Poster – “Cinema: Veredas – os filmes a partir de joao Guimaraes rosa”, 2008
