Practical work crit





















Current idea

My question is about how postmodernism impacts on Graphic Design.

I am creating a few type heavy posters using the same type but different point sizes and weight/styles of the same type. The posters will be about existing exhibitions that are going on so that it is relevant for now.

Should I include images?
  • I think it is strong enough to be just type, it gets the info across quite well
  • I think type alone can work really well
  • I think just type will have a stronger impact
  • The type of concept is a strong one, keep to it unless you feel imagery is required
  • I feel with your proposal the use of imagery would abolish the idea of it being type heavy
Should I make the type sizes bigger to fill up more space?
  • Use more type instead, look at layout
  • Maybe not bigger, maybe try and use more type to fill in the space a bit more
  • It feels like there is too much negative space so yes make the type fill the whole page like a pattern?
  • Perhaps but don't increase the weight of type
  • Not bigger, you can add more type (maybe in similar sizes) to fill some of the gaps
What else could I do to make it stand out more
  • Play with colour? Paper colour or type colour
  • Different tones of the same colour? Two colours? Traditional print so it's less flat? 
  • You could always screen print the type. I think it might give it a most poster feel
