This uses a wide range of colours, to create an affect of overlapping letters, creating a darker black. This emphasises the message 'WE NOT ME', merging the letters to become intertwined with one another. The tall capital letters dominate the poster space, proposing an environment filled with community and togetherness.

This poster uses a traditional means of pencil drawn elements and combined typefaces filling the background to create a nostalgic environment. It parodies old style film posters matching the movies theme and context. Neutral greys and browns have been used to emphasise this notion.

This poster manipulates and distorts elements of type to create a chaotic yet structured composition. The dark city elements behind advance the central white text running from the top to the bottom of the page.

Lim has used a typeface to compose a design pattern and continual theme. Images have been placed inside the typeface varying in warm colour tones. The grungy cream background adds character.

An effective use of warm colours to create a visual identity for an event. Block colours have been used in the shapes of squares and rectangles to create a grid layout for this design forms. A cream background has been used to complement these colours, as well as the grey tall block letters for the display font. This designs emit a warm, hopeful attitude, relevant to this event in Singapore to talk about future prophets for the country.

The clever use of a barcode label composes an image of a beer, creating a direct reference to its younger 'clubbing' audience. Taso has aliened the words BAR CODE below creating a central focus point and a basic, hard look. The black central image and the grungy green background create an effective contrast and add character to the poster.

Utilised an effective typeface creating a central image of text to communicate with the viewer. The minimal yet grungy style creates an atmosphere relevant to the city of London.

A combination of different hand drawn concepts, in designing new fonts.
I created these through a combination of scanned magazine cut outs and digital illustrator editing. I experimented different textures and effects that an A4 piece of paper could produce by folding and manipulating it multiple times through a scanner. This created the different backgrounds. By searching for the necessary words and letters in magazines I explored many typefaces and tried to use each type with balance and tension, creating a cohesive layout. Variation in size, selective colour palletes and weight contributed to this notion.

Type is used to convey its own meaning through its position, indicating movement on the page. This is an effective means of communication, used on many posters to draw attention to the information its illustrating.

The brief required that we create a flyer, brochure and name tag that illustrated the theme of 'Empowerment in times of change' for an upcoming event. These were some basic templates I composed. I used the image of a tree and leaves to symbolise growth and change, similar to seasons.
Looking back on it now I can see room for improvement such as the words placed in the background can seem very cluttered and distract from the important information. This could be overcome by removing the words and playing with the size and weight of the information. I should not have to reiterate the message I am trying to convey, my content should be strong enough to do so. This is why I believe the name tag is effective as it is simple but effective.
