My Font Poster
For our weekly task, we were required to create an font poster using one of our favorite fonts that included our names in it to create individuality. I have chosen to use Franklin Gothic as my font of choice because I notice there aren’t many appealing posters that display this font. Therefore, with following the given process that was taught in our design class, this is the result of my attempt at making an attractive font poster. First of all, as you can see, the focal point is the giant letter ‘a’ that takes up half of the space in the poster. I decided to place it there in order to achieve 3 blank spaces for a more minimal look. The letter ‘a’ can also be seen as an ‘elephant silhouette’ with its ‘ear’ and ‘trunk’ when rotated at a 90° angle clockwise. After that, I placed the rest of the letter in my name inside the letter ‘a’. In an attempt to have the letter seep through the background, I had placed it close to the edge of the letter ‘a’ and added the same color to both elements. Next, for the purpose of showcasing the font used, I had arranged all the letters in the alphabet, as well as numbers at the space below my name, along with some borders to add a more clean and organized look. Finally, as for the colors, I chose a mid-century modern color palette to pair it with the overall retro and vintage look of the font to achieve a vibrant and earthy feel.
