Super-Comp for Vernacular Type

In this piece, I am depicting the aesthetic appeal of distressed signs found in Historic New Braunfels, Texas. Each piece of type found within this work is either degraded by rust, rot, or sun damage. By layering these worn signs over one another, I am attempting to convey the history and appeal that can be found in the letterforms of something as simple as shop signs.

Vernacular Type

[noodlesortoodles-blog]

The Domain in Austin Texas has many different found lettering types within it, including: store awnings, street signs, hand painted signs, posters, wall art, etc. For this project I decided to focus specifically on Rock Rose Ave within the Domain, which mostly consists of bars and restaurants. For my concept I decided to collage posters off the walls of Rock Rose. I developed this vernacular type poster by messing around with filters and blending modes to make the colors within it to create some balance together as a cohesive piece. The hierarchy of this composition is the large Rock Rose type at the top of the poster. I left negative space that didn’t contain any text in the top right and bottom left corners to let the eye rest. I integrated the secondary text by bringing the file into illustrator to type on a line so that it goes with the flow of the astronaut helmet. I used bold Calibri in all caps for my type to match the typography in one of the posters. I also used a second font for my theme that is  almost identical to the repetition of text through the poster. I wanted this concept to come off as a nightclub poster, and I think the color palate and space mood reflects that in a way that I wanted.

CalArts Graphic Design Never Not in the 90s Fine Purveyors of Post-Modernism. Poor exercisers of simplicity and restraint.
