For my poster project, I chose to create a design based off of the typeface, Bodoni. It was created by Giambattista Bodoni in 1798 and was considered very modern for his time. This poster was difficult because I tried to use more complex methods in creating my design but found that they did not stay true to the era in which it was created. The poster came out very simple, but if you ever look back at documents from that time period, I think it stays true to the mood, color, layout of those documents.

Final Project Presentation Info!

For my final project we are creating a poster with the topic being about a specific typeface and I have chosen Bodoni. To look at some background information on the typographer, Giambattista Bodoni, here are some sources to check out!

* Google images to see Bodoni himself and a few samples of his work and the typeface as well.

Show & Tell #4

So I decided to work on my illustrator animal, which was a sleepy lion, and I wanted to post it to see what you all thought! It was definitely interesting to see what I could figure out on my own, a little frustrating at times, of course, but I think it turned out well!
