For this project we created a series of typographic posters. We chose from several fonts and performed two operations on an individual character from each font. Then each of the posters was printed using a vinyl cutter outfitted with a pen in place of the blade.
In this first poster, the letter ‘x’ in Cooper Black has spikes and stripes added to it. I added the curved spikes to complement the rounded serifs of the x. The striped pattern also adds an interesting dimension to the x, as if it has been folded and unfolded. I am very pleased with how this poster turned out especially because it was an Honorable Mention in the Student Juried Art show on campus in Spring 2015.
In the second poster, I filled a capital E with a geometric pattern and cut it in half. I positioned the parts of the E to look as if the top part is falling off the bottom bringing movement and an eye catching tension to the composition of the poster.
