poster design
This project was for Santa Fe College’s Digital Media Technology and Portfolio Review 2020 exhibition. We were given the word vast on which to base our design. After researching myriad ways the word vast could be interpreted I decided on a very simple concept.
The idea of a small light in the vastness of the dark was my final decision. I created a small stylized sphere of light and placed it bleeding off the page so that its rays pierce the vastness of the darkness that is the rest of the poster. Both light and dark are vast and I liked the juxtaposition of the two representing the same idea.
The style of art I chose was simple dot art, usually seen as white dot patterns on black. I added a very subtle amorphous blue hue to the near-black blue background to add an element of dimension. I chose Dunbar Tall typeface. Dunbar Tall has a tall x-height aiding its light and airy look. This look complements the vastness effect.
