Week 2: Inspiration from the Internet



I have always thought that Gandhi was a very interesting and inspirational person, so when I was browsing design blogs the other day, this typographical poster really caught my eye. I really like that it has a lot to it, however it is still simple. To me, it kind of looked minimalistic but also very detailed. I thought that all of the separate pieces worked together well in harmony, and emphasis was spread out evenly throughout all of the fundamentals listed. I also think that it's appropriate because its all kind of a neutral, natural color palette. I was intrigued by this poster, so I went to look who designed it. I was surprised to see that is was designed by Francesca Ramos, who is only 22 years old. I was not expecting her to be that young. However, this isn't all I found in researching this poster. I also found that this piece is part of a poster series where design graduates pass on wisdom to first year design students. You can view the poster series here. I thought that this was such a interesting project. I spent a long time looking through all of the different posters, and I would definitely suggest taking a look. I put some of my other favorites below.

  1. These are amazing Rachel. Francesca Ramos has a new fan! The design with the ship and yarn-water is exactly how I want to start designing like someday, especially because it balances a lot of detail with a decent amount of white space. Great find!
