Afro | Typographical Project

•

This project that began in late May was based around the idea of designing a typographical poster that would help display a literal-narrative for the word “Afro”, by the way of combining minimalism and simplicity together.

As you will see, the final outcome consists of the word “afro” being displayed in a bold sans-serif font, with the letter “a” taking on the form of the afro itself, alongside a forehead-shaped circle on the bottom to help assure that the narrative looks like an upper-case “a”.

To push the overall depth of the design that little bit further, I decided to include a grain texture in order to help push away from a look that would appear too flat and too polished for my own personal liking.

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