Create a typographic poster series for different poets using a common theme of being “against the machine.” Exploring subtopics of artificial intelligence, technological advancements, and gender discrimination.
Poster series
Knowing the Poets
Research is a great step to understanding how to design a poster. Each of these poets explore varying themes in their poems; I Am Code by Brent Katz, Josh Morgenthau, and Simon Rich, explores AI and the disturbing truths behind it. T.S. Eliot explores how technological advancements are dystroying Earth and the people living in it. Andrea Abi-Karam explores gentrification of society.
Type Play
Printing out pieces of paper with token words, I experimented with different textures and played around with composition.
Photo Edits and Sketches
Narrowed down images with the best composition. Posterized each image to understand the form, making it easier to visualize sketches.
