As designers, we are sometimes torn between following conventions and creating striking work that defies what is expected. This project was the ultimate exercise in finding this happy medium. First, I explored the typographic boundaries that designers have already pushed. Then, I found two existing posters that I could push even further, to create my very own experimental type poster set.  

​

I chose two seemingly incongruous posters for this set: A promotional piece for Shakespeare in the Park and a page from a magazine article on French Riviera haute couture. Ultimately, I chose a segmented type treatment for the first because the play deals with mistaken identity. The second makes use of a very "Euro Holiday" color palette.
