I feel that I must apologize (especially to Kyle and Carole) for my lack of blogging consistency. It has been a long time since my last blog and not because I haven't had inspiring things to write about but because I haven't taken the time or in some cases had the time to take.Jill (my girlfriend) has suggested that I post some of my homework here. I have rejected this idea until now, thinking that my homework was nothing that people wanted to see. She has convinced me otherwise and therefore you are now looking at a piece that I produced for my typography course.
The assignment was to create a 10.5" x 10.5" poster for a fictional lecture series put on by the college. We could choose our own designer and then design a poster using the information that was given to us regarding time, place, etc. There are actually two posters in this assignment. One is type dominant (the one pictured) and one is image dominant.
We were required to compose the posters on a grid to keep the information organized and easy to digest. Seeing as this is a type class, we were also encouraged to explore the different typefaces within a single type family, and experiment with using hierarchy to arrange information in the most efficient way, considering that this is one poster on a bulletin board competing for your 10-15 sec. of attention.
I hope you all like this poster and I will be awaiting your critiques. I am interested to see what non designer have to say because I hear the jaded rantings of designers all day long (they can be quite mean). So please comment.
I promise I will not wait so long to post again. I have new homework coming out all the time.

Homework is the name of a Daft Punk album.
Your poster wants to make me go to a lecture . . . not for £10 though.
Surely you can't be serious!
Keep posting your work, it's always great to see what people create! Jill (as per usual) was right.
