For your Typography Project you will be using the research and writing you have done on a city and font to create a poster. Here are the requirements: Create a poster that is 11"X14" in InDesign. Your poster is meant to be about your city and how it relates to the font you choose. You can only use the name of your font, the name of your city and the 10 sentence paragraph you wrote. No images is your final poster. You MUST use incorporate your 10 sentence paragraph into you final poster and it MUST BE LEGIBLE. You can only use your 1 OR 2 fonts that you choose. You can repeat the name of your city and the name of your font more than once. And they are not required to be completely legible each time that you use them. You can organize your type however you would like on the page. You CAN use color in your poster. You CAN NOT use shapes. You CAN NOT add lines (unless you are using them for type on path and they have no stroke).

What do you think the most difficult part of this project was? Do you think in your future designs you will consider typography more seriously? Why or why not? What are you most proud of with your final poster? Is there anything you think is still unresolved? I think the most difficult part of this assignment was just the tediousness of making each letter an object and placing all of the different letters. The actual creation of the graphic wasn't too difficult, but it was really interesting figuring out how different letters could be placed together in order to create the shape or impression i wanted. I will definitely consider typography more in my future assignments. Font choice and the characteristics of the font influence the character of the poster and impact the overall impression the viewer gets. I think I'm most proud of how my graphic is more abstract but it still captures the essence of the canal houses in Amsterdam, how I used the repetition of the colors in the houses in the title, and of how I found a solution to wanting to use a blue box in the background (which did not fit into the requirements of the assignment) by changing the letter 'l' into an object that could be used in the background. The only thing I feel is still unresolved is some of the letters in my graphic have a slight outline on them. If I could figure out how to get rid of that outline, I feel like my graphic would be stronger.
