Typography poster
This poster focused on how I as a designer can use typography solely to create a design. I spent time researching festivals across the globe and decided to make a poster for the Vermont Quilt Festival. I wanted to bring a new life to a historic festival.
From there, I created various inspirational mood boards. The main qualities I desired in my poster were color, funky, and fun. I started with three ideations for the poster. I liked various qualities of each one, so I combined different aspects from them to create my final poster.
I used letterforms that I created by hand in Illustrator to add a homemade and unique feel to the poster. I added texture and fake stitching to lean into the process of quilting. Overall, it was amazing to see my vision come to life and to learn how type is a crucial design element.
The Design process
A process consisting of moldboards, sketches, and ideations that revolved around bold shapes, bright color, and large type.

For changes, I focused on getting rid of rivers in the body text, cleaning my stitching up, and making the interior shapes in the letterforms more organic. Edits are indicated with the pink circles above.
