Design Statement:

The typeface poster and booklet are meant to showcase a beautiful typeface throughout history. Showcasing how it transforms letters, glyphs, and numbers from the range of styles. Bodoni is that typeface that captured that elegance because of its satisfying contrasts. And that’s why I chose Bodoni.

For this project, I wanted to showcase the range of styles Bodoni has, while also exploring the history of the typeface. I was able to showcase all of this by using hierarchy and negative space. But most importantly, I wanted to focus on capturing that element of satisfaction. With the use of thumbnails, grids, and constant revisions, I was able to create a poster that I feel highlights Bodoni well. The ampersand was a nice design to add onto the poster, along with all the color choices. All the colors worked well because of the transparency blend and made the poster brighter. Keeping the same theme, I used multiple colors with the transparency blend on my booklet. All of this along with the background text helped create the final products for my project.
