POSTER DESIGN
My poster design comes from an identity which I have shaped since 2023 starting with my professional portfolio (shown below is my current portfolio which had been updated last year to include my MArch1 project).
Below is the original Pinterest board which I used for my 2023 professional portfolio alongside physical design magazines.
This has then shaped my entire graphic identity since and the way I approach representation throughout my MArch: https://pin.it/7c7WsdURf
Below are physical design magazines I own, as you can see, I bookmark (with masking tape) layouts I particularly enjoy. I have experimented with these before in MArch1 and in some way take inspiration from them into my work.
This way, with every module and indeed these posters, I was not approaching it in a sense of copying or replicating other posters I had seen but instead using an evolving design language which I am comfortable with and understand. This not only makes creating posters and spreads easier as I have a set of determined styles, but quicker. The workflow is far more fluid, where I can change and alter iterations quickly and efficiently all whilst feeling part of the same language or family.
For example, I came across these 4 pages from an unknown design magazine which used a bold tall font. I found a similar one in Merrywether and proceeded to use this for titles in my dissertation in a similar fashion. Bold, stretched out and justified to pages. This simple change added a new heading font to my design language as well as some new ideas for layouts.
For example, below are some iterations of my hypothesis poster from week 4 review to how it was at the end of TB1 and then an updated version for submission. Since I have a language set up, I can quickly frame out a poster with establishing sections of text and build something up to tweak.
A physical model I made to convey the idea of thresholds and obscurity with data and physicality.
EARLY DESIGN AND ANALYSIS
Below is early design and analysis in TB1.
I have been working in 1 portfolio since the start of the project. The following work is my "scenario" and analysis work which I did in TB1. Some of which is used on the posters. The maps were made using QGIS and photoshop.
