Type hierarchy

Typography poster Brief

From the copy provided choose a manifesto text and produce three different typographic layouts, which present the information given in a visually attractive way. 
The presentation should enable the reader to immediately understand the nature and theme of the text.
Each layout is to use a different combination of format and typefaces. 
Restrictions for this project are:
- One typeface in any weight and as many sizes as necessary
- Two typefaces in any weight, each in any size
- One typeface in bold & regular format, in any size.
- Only black, white & tones of these to be used.

RESEARCH

Grids
Grids are a useful design tool, as they help designers create hierarchy & order. Grids also assist with creating the correct amount of negative space.
GRIDS IN CONTEXT
Noticing grid systems whilst researching.
Type Hierarchy & Posters
Some type only posters that I found inspiring & relevant to the brief.

development

I liked my initial designs but decided that some of them needed a little more negative space. I'd initially started off working with a grid, and then got too into designing that I forgot to utilise grids.  

Typefaces used are: ITC Avante Garde, Muli, Abolition.

I initially chose these as my final designs as I felt that they had the most visual impact.
