Poster: 11 x 17, black and white

Explain your influencer to your peers
Convey the excitement of contemporary design
Your poster must be purely typographic.
Consider hierarchy: A viewer should be able to easily understand your text.

Hierarchy 101: Work with a basic chunk of information and explore numerous simple variations, using just one type family. The parts of a typographic hierarchy can be signaled with one or more cues: line break, type style, type size, rules, and so on.

Information itself must constitute the “imagery” of the poster. You may use colors, shapes, and lines as well as text, but no falling leaves.

remember

Don’t be a slave to the document:
For example, the name does not have to be at the top of the poster.

Instead of making one big text box, break up the content and move it around the page.
