5 POSTER DESIGN ELEMENTS

These are the 5 posters for events. Some include my own sketch for the media morphosis, some include posters from notable media events from around the world.







BAD CAMPUS POSTER

Too Simple and no decoration and visuals. The words are also repetitive.


Too simple as well. Fonts of black not suited to match with the dark blue background color.
Should have use other colours like red. The visual is also confusing.


GOOD CAMPUS POSTER

The 2 posters below are in my opinion, good as they use strong visuals and fonts to show off the effects and get the message across. The colors also compliment each other.


KERNING

In typography, kerning (less commonly mortising) is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result. In a well kerned font, the two-dimensional blank spaces between each pair of characters all have similar area.




GRID SAMPLES OF WEBSITES




Grids are used in newspapers and book design, but also on the web. On the web however, grids are used differently. Web designers have a lot of possibilities to use the grid for ordering information and content.
