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.

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!

ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah the typography really caught my eye. It's so simple but well thought out.
DeleteI agree with everything Evan and Malia said. These are very cool. I actually think I've seen the top one before on Pinterest! I think these are great because they are clean and organized, yet detailed at the same time. Awesome inspiration!
