Happy Spending... and Holidays! | Typographical Poster

•

This project that began in late November was based around the idea of designing a typographical poster that would help poke fun at the almost-inescapable task of having to go Christmas shopping, by the way of expressing a certain kind of season greeting that would not only humour the viewer, but somewhat insult them in a more intentionally naïve-driven manner.

As you will see, the idea has been carried out by the use of many typographical elements that not only act as verbal dialogue, but also act as illustration content (as evident by the dollar sign taking form as the Christmas tree and decorations), alongside basic illustration content itself such as cent coins, multi-coloured illumination lights and a grey line to signify ground level, via simple shapes and downloaded vector art.

The display mockup for the final outcome places the design itself into a black frame that is then rested up against a wall that shares a similar colour to the dominant colour of the finished poster. This helps ensure that both elements blend together in a calm yet formal manner that isn’t too distracting, or make one seem out of place from the other.

So, be sure to tell me what you think in the comment section below!
