Poster typography

February 28, 2012

The alignment of the spacing is key where the chunking is the presenter/ location and artist. The Artist are bolded because they are where the eye wants to be drawn . The contrast of the Universe styes is what makes it stand out more.

 

Alignment is still key. I wanted to play on the variation of font.

 

For the first attempt I was playing with mainly the VH1 logo. Then emphasizing the role of the 90s. the second Hierarchy is placed on the artist with the date and time placed vertically to approx. take up the same Cap height. The location and the date are the same font stye and height.

The second attempt using roughly the same logic in heirarchy. The emphasizes is on the 90s rather than VH1. But size and font of the artist and date are still the same. With this variation I wanted to play on pulling VH1 out of the frame to create more tension for the poster and by placing the artist and date on the left side to draw the eye in that direction.

The Third Poster pulls the poster outwards to the left and right direction. There is a variation of value which plays up VH1 and “Best of the 90s”. The location is based near the top and is read easily because of the base line of the “1”. Between the values chosen and the size it helps create comfort.
