Design of Experimental Typographic Posters

You will begin by knowing the beginnings of BlueTypo, how they started designing posters and what their influences, authors and artistic references have been for them up to now. In the same way, you can introduce yourself and share what inspires you.

You will learn techniques to get a creative idea to work on, in any graphic project you do. The teachers will provide you with pages and utilities to facilitate the development of this process.

You will acquire basic knowledge about composition, proportions, hierarchy and reticle so that you can establish an order of logical importance (or not) in your proposals. It is important to know some basic rules, although later you will experiment and work on alternative paths. In addition, you will have at your disposal informative resources that will guide you and help you understand the design keys.

You will receive an introduction to typography, reviewing both formal and expressive aspects, and you will learn to select and correctly use a typeface depending on the project.

The teachers will show you some basic graphic representation techniques so that you can apply to your creations, such as collage. You will learn more about the typographic poster and about how analog techniques can go hand in hand with digital ones. You will see how Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator can help you add textures, colors and all kinds of finishes, giving added value to your manual creations.

You will put into practice everything you have learned, making a typographic collage with paper and scissors, and adjusting it with the mentioned digital tools. Once done, the teachers will explain how to expose it in a portfolio online and of course, get the most out of social networks.
