Woodtype fonts







The first mural found in downtown Tampa and the second two, part of a new campaign for apple beer show many stylistic similarities to woodtype fonts of the late 18th and early 19th century. The use of a 3-d lettering in the first mural is the same that was extremely common in the wood cut lettering. The cut out of the lettering out of a colored background that was also a new design element that became popular with woodtype fonts and posters as shown in the first image, is used in the third image with the word fortunately and Apple beer. The second image uses both the 3-d style lettering and the cut outs both are throw backs to the beginning of the industrial revolution. All three images uses multi colors in there fills and outlines of the lettering that is similar to the wood type fonts.

Jacqueline S. Casey posters

The first two posters are designed by Jacqueline S. Casey. They use minimal design to create a feeling and aesthetic that goes with what the poster is advertising. Like the second poster looks like the flow of music notes and it is for a music concert at MIT. The third and fourth posters use that same abstract feeling and representation as the Casey's posters and remind me of the minimalist style of the Swiss poster design.

The design of the vogue covers is very clean compared to other magazines that are out there now. This clean design is very similar to Pinelea'a designs which give both the magazines an elegant and classic feeling.

Herbert Matter Large scale in posters

Image
Herbert Matter was a huge influence on graphic design and specifically poster design. The way he used larger then life scale in his first poster I see in the wonder women movie poster. She takes up the whole page but still has a dynamic and interesting composition. Matter was the first to use such large figures that go off the page in his Swiss tourism posters like the wonder women poster. The Spiderman movie poster reminded me of how matter created space while use large scale. The figure in the front in larger then life with motion of ironman it creates depth in the image which many of matters posters, especially the second one in this post, has.
