Abstract: | A collection of six posters featuring creative writing arranged in formal compositions that blend aspects of early C20th theatre posters with typographic arrangements found in type foundry catalogues of the same period. As such, they reflect, albeit in different form, the shock modernity of early Dada, Groz, Heartfield et al. | ||||

Additional Information: | The collection compares 3 digitally created and printed posters, with three composed and printed within the caseroom letterpress facility. The design and arrangement of the latter was heavily informed by a catalogue I created, featuring photographs of each of the cases located in the Reid corridor (146 in total). This process allowed for the measurement of each typeface - something that the caseroom cannot currently offer - and allowed me to digitally arrange compositions prior to entering the caseroom. Following this blended approach would, in theory, allow students to make informed choices, thus reducing time in the caseroom, and significantly increase their awareness of what typefaces and sizes are currently available. | ||||
