Typography Poster 1

Graphic Design assignment for uni. We were given the text and had to make a poster using just typography.

With this poster I created a kind of logo from two “B’s” that I thought resembled two rows of books. I made it the attracting point of the poster, with it’s somewhat ambiguous shape hopefully inciting curiosity in the viewer to decipher it and read on. I dont know if that happens or not lol.

With the combination of the 'logo' and the colours I wanted to reference Nazi symbolism, as the text ends on a slightly darker note by mentioning the book burnings that were staged in Germany.

Alot of people in my class made thier poster design look like a book in various ways, so I wanted to stay completely away from that.

And yes, I know it looks like I'm trying to sell suhi haha.

I selected "encourage advanced critique" because if you want to offer it I'll gladly take on what you've got to say, as I dont really have alot of perspective on whether what I'm doing is good or not - hence my not submitting any of my design stuff until now, it's largely embarrassingly mediocre
