TYPE POSTER BASICS

Here are directions for the TYPE POSTER project....

GOAL is to make the poster LOOK like what it MEANS..... 

SIZE is 12 x 18 inches using Illustrator

#1. MESSAGE- choose a message to convey with your poster..... the message must be readable somewhere in the poster.

#2. STRUCTURE- What structure will you use to organize the poster? A grid, Columns? or no structure (like David Carson)

#3 TYPEFACE- Choose type that matches the meaning of your message.

#4 COLOR- choose a color scheme to follow in your design..... Use the samples posted to the blog LINK HERE

#5 DESIGN- Create more than one object of EMPHASIS. Create MOVEMENT with shapes, color, value, lines, or patterns. Break up the page into POSITIVE and NEGATIVE SPACE SHAPES.

#6 VALUE and CONTRAST- Create a range of values and use contrast in your design.

#7. TEXTURE- create visual texture in your poster design with pattern swatches, image trace or effects.
