typografia 2 - printed posters

On the left are two A2 double sided posters and on the right is an A1 printed in digital print. Really pleased with the outcome of the A1 especially as the black has a really nice speckled finish. The others are really good quality, with a flat colour that could never be achieved on the studio printers. 

 The double sided posters are designed so that they can be placed, in the manor above, showing information of both the designers and the exhibition itself, or placed in a window, as this will have the same effect of showing one side through.

Typografia 2 - Final Tickets





The finished designs for tickets for the event, this includes both general admission and and admission for the talks. Same as the other printed matter, the colours correspond to the gallery in which the exhibition is being held, red for the Stedelijk in Amsterdam and off white for the Museum Fur Gestaltung in Zurich

Typografia 2 - Perforated tickets





Experimenting with a perforation on the ticket which breaks up the word typografie so that it partially remains on the stub that is taken away. The images above show the perforation and tear in progress and this is definitely the best way of creating a ticket that needs to split so that both parties have something that shows the ticket has been used or is in use. Quite like the weight of this red stock for the tickets and it perforates nicely, however the thinner off white suger paper used for the rest of the promotion isn't quite as good when perforated so may need to look into printing the colour like on the A1 poster.

Typografia 2 - Event programme photos



Typografia 2 - Event Programme



Final spreads for the typografie event programme. This is how the book will appear when printed, however with it being a french fold the printing spreads will be rather different from these ones. It will be printed digitally, full colour, on off white sugar paper, as a lot of the promotions I have done up to this point have used sugar paper.

SF 2013 - finalising the app





Some updates to the app after talking with Andy particularly. Previously we were focusing on making it look like an app, adding gradients and background textures etc, and we possibly lost sight of a few elements that are important for an app. One of the main things to come from this chat with Andy was that the icons on the main screen looked out of place with rounded corners, squaring them off and having them over lapping like the tabs along the bottom of the page helped tie them in much better.

Typografia 2 - Final Talk Posters









Here are the final talk posters for the Typografie event for both the Stedelijk and Museum Fur Gestaltung. Similarly to the other promotions they are separated by stock, however for the experimental Jetset poster I have also included a second printed colour, as they are well known for using two bold colours in their works to pick out different information. In this case I used it to make the words more readable, as without these colours, it all blends into one word and can be quite difficult to make out, especially as some of the words won't be instantly recognisable.

Similarly to the previous event posters I tried to pick out elements within either the name or the designers work that could be portrayed through the poster just as an initial starting point for visuals. However I often find that these are the best examples and I choose these over more developed examples. These should be A1, especially the A2/SW/HK poster as the format is integral to the concept behind the poster. 

Typografia 2 - Final event posters




These are the finished event posters as they will look when printed. the background colour will be the colour of the stock so when printing will only require one colour. They will however be double sided so that they can be displayed together as they are here, or on a window for example and have something to read on both sides.

Standards posters - final spreads





















Final spreads from the standards poster book, scanned. Pleased with how this has turned out considering the short amount of time I actually ended up spending on it.

I think I achieved what I was going for in a rough and loosely bound book with pages of varying sizes, providing something a bit more interesting and tactile than a perfect bound book. This also wouldn't have been possible because of the nature of the pages being made up of folded pages. The folds allow the posters to read like a book on one side and a poster on the other, without either side affecting the other.

I think despite the amount of different formats, it still holds together really well as a book, probably down to the use of font and format.

Standards posters - final posters










The ten final posters for the standards poster book. all of which will be digitally printed onto different stocks to change the effect the print has. Tried to keep a fairly clean and simple modernist aesthetic, with a layout that stays consistent without having to keep the body of information the same. So I went for a layout of page information that stays the same, with the number of each poster at the top and bottom in the same format each time. I am pleased with the majority of these, especially the overlay posters, as these seemed to lend themselves to this kind of treatment. The others tend to focus more on the stock that they are printed on to give the design a little more.
