Design Museum Conference Posters: Typographic Hierarchy

The three poster series acts as one ultimate poster. It relays information about the conference in sections. In producing the posters I was required to highlight when the event was, emphasising the time and date. This is revealed in the large type. The poster was produced using only a photocopier. Extracts were taken from the the given text and resized.

Generative Systems: Colour & Light

System:

I selected numbers on a lottery ticket using the lucky dip option. I then used these numbers to express colour and light. I chose to count the colours around the colour wheel going clock wise as many times as was required.

The pages below reveal the colours my numbers fell on, where the larger circle reveals the final colour I landed on. I adjusted the opacity of the colours to reveal the amount of times I had to count around the wheel. The lighter the colour, the smaller the number, the darker the colour the more larger the number.

System: Chance
I span a pencil in the centre of the colour wheel the amount of times my numbers required me to. the final colour revealed is the last colour the pencil pointed to. The specific numbers are reflected in the size of circle.

System: Progression
I used teh data I collected from my chance experiment. This time I noted down every colour teh pencil pointed to, I have listed the colour progressivley.

Generative Systems Workshop

I produced a set of compositions using black paper tiles on a set 7 by 7 grids. The amount of tiles used was taken from the randomly selected numbers I had chosen previously for a lottery ticket.



For each number I produced seperate pieces using four different systems. The systems I used to create the pieces above, from left to right were:

Symmetry
Chance
Progression
Collaboration

The grids within the group were later compiled together in two larger pieces. One contained all the high numbers, and the second contained all the low numbers.

Exposure Programme

I designed and hand folded 300 programmes for a theatre production called Exposure. These were to be handed out to viewers on the night of the production.
