Historical Type Poster<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For my historical poster, I looked at Bauhaus posters for inspiration. I was particularly interested in arranging my information through geometric shapes. I used a slanted rectangle for the background as I notice a common technique within the Bauhaus posters was diagonal placements. I think this gives visual interest which is one of the criteria in the brief. I contrasted the angular-shaped background with circles in the foreground, and I decided to place the information about each of the typographic categories in the circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I struggled with trying to structure my poster while still being visually intriguing. Thus, I thought deriving inspiration from the posters we\u2019ve learned in the class not only helped me with how to structure my poster but also learn more about the Bauhaus style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would overall rate this a 7\/10. Although I think there\u2019s good contrast in my poster that creates visual interest, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s outstandingly interesting compared to other ways to approach this poster. I spent about 9 hours on this project, including the sketching, research, and execution process. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
