For this assignment, we had to make an entirely hand-drawn poster that featured a brief description of these eight typographic categories before 1945 as well as their distinguishing features. It appeared to be a straightforward exercise at first, but I soon realized that developing a poster with extensive information and making it engage was a difficult process. I had a concept and drew some initial designs for this task, however, I struggled with font layout and rendering.
Even though it took around 4 hours to correctly execute the final poster, the process works, and research required approximately two days to produce and obtain a final design idea. I’d give myself a 7/10 since I believe I could have done a much better job regarding neatness and layout.
My idea of creating a storytelling poster was solid, however, the execution and effectively getting the idea onto paper could have been better. I also feel that I should have spent more time on the project, but I misjudged the amount of effort that was necessary for this assignment to be completed successfully.
This is my result of the Type identification poster!
