DESCRIPTION //

This is an A1 typography poster based on the 1990’s and revolving around the typeface Minion Pro. The poster is made up of a number of pieces of information; a brief history of the typeface, upper and lowercase lettering, numbers and symbols within the typeface, information on the typesetting during the 90’s and a piece on David Carson. This information is all bundled together in the poster meant for the State Library.

DESIGN PROCESS //

My design process is firstly understanding what I have to do, reading the brief and writing down what is needed to be done. I then carry out research and jot down ideas in words or sketches, that arise. I then take those first ideas/concepts and take them into digital form. These ideas and concepts are then developed to arrive at my final piece. I tend to ask for feedback during this process to see what others like and dislike about the direction I am heading in, I find this a great way to get the best finished product.

How would you describe your style?

For this piece, l would describe my style as Swiss design with a modern twist. I enjoy the typography style used and how it is the main feature of the piece. The bright colours also excite me, the tones and tint that can get brought into the piece, makes it bold and stand out from the crowd.

What are your influences?

I feel I draw influence from everyone and everything. This gives me an advantage to be able to understand other styles and elements and to be able to create the best pieces I can.

If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you be and why?

If I could be any animal in the world I’d be the lovely household cat. Who wouldn’t want to start meowing annoyingly and then have food brought to you straight away. Being able to be a loveable little creature and then change into the ultimate savage monster due to my belly being rubbed one too many times. I feel like that would be the life.

If you could only choose one song to play every time you walked into a room for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

“Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!” by Vengaboys because the opening versus being; “If you’re alone and you need a friend. Someone to make you forget your problems. Just come along baby. Take my hand I’ll be your lover tonight” I can relate to this with the amount of breakdowns I have at TAFE and my classmates managing to pick me up.
