Kurt Wirth — Bücher Scherz (1969)

All the swimming pools within inner London, mapped. I added the peachy bands as it was looking overly blue.

further poster variation

[concreteandkind]

2 reworkings of the graphic dialogue poster. definately my most iterated project.

[concreteandkind]

further type classification developments. cooling things down a bit.

[concreteandkind]

type classification spreads. this publication will be printed by the newspaper club. i much prefer using a lighter tone of the orange in larger areas. 

[concreteandkind]

the beginnings of an information design project mapping public swimming pools in london. i was going to look at greater london but i think inner london is more achievable. i've almost mapped all the inner london boroughs (besides greenwich and hammersmith & fulham). also going to look at making the poster more playful, incorporating other graphic elements that relate to swimming (i'm thinking the colours of the lane dividers, red, white and deep blue), tiles, and a way to include information on facilities available in each borough. 

[concreteandkind]

combining various colour tests to see how the different elements of each work together.

the combination of the ink and acetate shapes looks really special to me - the slow evolving ink overlaid with the sporadic fast shapes makes for a really interesting visual combination. with development i think this could be very visually rich....

[concreteandkind]

more poster development. i like the smaller text on this one. is repetition a joy or a mistake?

[concreteandkind]

further poster development. not sure about the smaller text.

[concreteandkind]

type classification development. maintaining the graphic theme but toning it down a little from the last progression and returning to a more traditional book spread. need to consider an introduction, binding techniques and paper

collaboration between sesame street and philip glass - the geometry of circles
