So many bold fonts....

TYPE.POSTER.TYPE.FIRST GO

no type skills has been put into this yet.

but i wanted to know what type I could use.....

basically....

this is impossible to design as I don't even know what the paper is going to look like once I've made it...

what colours are going to be on it....

if it were white/ off white colour...I would just use Baskerville/ Century typeface to stick with my theme


however, if the color of the paper is going to be inconsistent ( especially that I'm using old magazines etc ) the type will probably need to be thick and bold....

or the visibility will just be rubbish...

so here are some bold types!

Poster/Calendar.....

Okay...
So

tomorrow I need to go to Vernon street/ print to talk to the print people about making paper out of old scrap paper and then screen printing onto it.

I've looked up ways you can make you're own paper DIY style but it seems to make a whole load more sense if I made it in a workshop with proper equipments and people who actually know what they're doing..


I have a problem though...I booked print for today with James and I'd been spending so much time making my hotdog fold booklet and my packaging that I didnt actually make poster to screen print with so......

I printed off my booklet and my packaging

but unless I can drop in with James tomorrow and print off my poster design onto A2 ...I'm going to have to print it out on A3 and expose that onto a screen....

which would work perfectly fine, if I was just doing a type poster....but


I wanted to make a calendar and that is definitely impossible to make with sheets of A3 to be exposed onto a screeen....the layout etc will be shocking...

So, I'm in a dilemma...do i just make a poster or calendar?

I guess once I've made the paper, I can always photoshop the calendar design onto it as a mock thing??


So many things to do tomorrow!!!

Calendar Thumbnails

Back to the calendar poster....

So....I should probably start designing this calendar properly...

Its simple, minimalistic, quite witty and its all going to be typographic

As the idea is quite a simple one I think I'm going to stick with making a poster that also works as a calendar.

I had some ideas of turning into something quite complicated , like in some of my sketches

I've not decided on the size/ format of the poster yet

but these are the things I've been considering

• reduce- ink and paper wastage
• keeping it simple
• typographically aesthetic
• practicality - as in...using it as a calendar so... a practical layout is important
• material
• size/format that is the most appropriate
• range of texts
• relationship between the concept of 'shade of green' and this one
•
