Christian Schwartz "Poster"
CalArts Visiting Designer Lecture Series
2 posters, approx. 20' x 9' and 19' x 16'
2010
Christian Schwartz {christianschwartz.com}, a well-known type designer, visited CalArts to give a lecture in early March and I designed these two posters (or billboards) with Jesse Lee Stout {metaformstudio.net} announcing the lecture. Christian has designed a lot of quirky typefaces with strong personalities, which gave us a starting point for these spirited, detailed, and unconventional posters.
His typefaces are used everywhere and we wanted to take over sections of the school to represent their prevalence and importance. We worked with type specimen language and formatting to display his typefaces, facts about his work and life, quotes from his website, rumors from Wikipedia as well as rumors of our own creation, and information about the lecture.
