The Poster: Another Poster

Another idea for the poster. The two courses and.. the exhibition.

The Poster: Another concept

This is a second idea for the exhibition poster. I am trying to represent both schools (Graphic Arts and Design + Contemporary Fine Art Practice) on the same poster by placing the title on two different typefaces.
The solid, clean and really defined type on the back is set in Politca, a clear sans font which has a lot similar properties with graphic design. On top of this I am placing type on a quite more abstract way that is identifying properties that are related with fine art and the freedoms that such a field has. This type is created by taking the original Helvetica letters and braking their snap points to more random positions, altering the type in a more abstract shapes with random outcomes (not particularly nice or eye pleasing).
The combination of these two types of type are showing somehow the unity and uniqueness of the school of Art at Leeds Met.
One idea could be screenprinting the two layers with two different colors. Maybe the bottom type (graphic design) could be in one of the basic CMYK colors whereas the top layer could be on a different tint of the same color establishing as well the expendable research and freedoms that fine art has opposed to the restrictions of graphics.
This surely does not try to place graphic design into a more trapped possition of lack of freedom or constraints but is more of an attempt to represent the similarities of these two disciplines (and the thin line that one becomes the other and so on..)

This is just another idea thought and maybe tomorrow is going to be something else!

Update/ The Poster

I am currently focusing on the writing of the Learning Agreement. I find it a bid difficult to identify the most important parts of this MA. Most of the experiences were (and still are) a vital part of the research and experimentations that I was doing all year.

I also started putting some ideas together for the exhibition poster for the MA Graphic Arts and Design course as well as the Contemporary Fine Art Practice in Leeds Metropolitan University.
The exhibition is going to run after the assessments for both courses which is the 20th and 21st September on H Block's 6th and 8th floor.

I will soon come back with some more ideas for the poster. Until then, just a first idea of basic typography. I particularly liked the character of this font (Politica) on its different weights. I believe it manages to promote the contemporary character of the course but at the same time, its clarity and legibility can also represent some of the core values of the course.
