This was the very first poster I completed in the St. Edwards graphic design program. The assignment was to create a typeface using the online tool, FontStruct. My font was based on the quote “Singular Agitations and Common Vertigo”. I compiled a Pinterest board based on what I felt like this quote conveyed and used this to construct my font. Many of the images on my Pinterest board were graphite drawings, which feature a lot of fading from dark to light. I wanted my font to have a similar feel, and so I created a font that went from being very dense to very open at the bottom. I wanted my poster to be somewhat consistent with the font style, so I did my best to make it look as though the text was fading from green to purple, which I feel was accomplished because of the less dense lower area of the text.
