Description
This was an assignment in my Graphic Design I class. I was to choose a font I like (really really like this one) and design a 18 x 24 inch poster. I had to show all lowercase and uppercase letters, including numbers 0-9.
I had a hard time coming up with a design at the beginning. I sketched out about six designs that I trashed before getting inspired by the 1981 New Order album Movement. Turns out the album cover was inspired by a 1930's poster by Futurist designer Fortunato Depero. I thought it was a perfect match for the typeface.
The idea behind the commercialized Futura was to remove any fancy flourishes and just maintain what's necessary to convey the letterforms themselves. I tried to stick to this idea when choosing layout and colors.
I really like how my poster came out.

This actually made me rethink my view of this fonts aesthetics.
I think I would have liked it even better if the upper two vertical lines and the dot weren't there, since I see no obvious function except for being decorative... but then again, I tend to be very minimalistic (which has never done me any good).
So all in all this is very well done. <3
