The Original Design

The brief: create a design history poster based on a group of 6 suggestions. I choose Pioneers of Digital Design and used the designer April Greiman as inspiration. I created this poster using Adobe Photoshop and took inspiration from Greiman's 1979 Wet Magazine cover. After receiving feedback, I removed the text "Exhibition" as it wasn't required.



The Final Design

Overall, I'm happy with how my poster turned out. It's evident I took inspiration from Greiman and tried to incorporate her use of vibrant colours and a unique style within my work.




Typography Poster



The Original Design

The brief: to create a Type Specimen Poster on one of seven fonts. I wanted a minimal style, so I removed the J, Q and &. They were merely taking away from the focus of Bodoni. The 1978 date was rearranged to the centre of the poster, to give the poster a more simplistic feel.




The Final Design

My finished type specimen poster, I love the result and think it looks clean and professional, while still promoting Bodoni, and it's font type.
