Cheyenne Poster

Review EACH POINT with your partner on the final project poster today:
• Does it clearly identify the typographer (full name / legible)
- Yes

• Are the (3) examples of their work clear, crisp and identified? 
- She was still working on which works to place, we found a system to place around the calendar to help organize it a little bit better.

• Is the typography strong? so-so? weak? non-existent?
- The font choice was of his work and she was going to add more of his work as examples.

• Evaluate the poster grid. Is the layout balanced? If so why? If not, why?
She was working on discovering the grid, the calendar was set and where other elements were going to go around the calendar to help with the flow.

• Is the bio paragraph well-positioned? Legible? 
Was not placed yet, but there were plans underneath his head, which would make sense.

• Identify the color palette. What does the color scheme relate to? 
It was still in progress, she had the colors of the seasons as of right now, which does work on the calendar, but may not work once she adds the other examples. She will have to see.
• How are the images /portrait treated? Does the style make sense for the typographer? 
She was still working on them.
• Is the style loyal to the time period?
It was still being defined, if she adds flourishes to go with his style it would be well established.• What elements, if any, could be strengthened?
At the time she was still narrowing down all the elements, so she was working on strengthening the overall design and she will most likely finish strengthening her elements afterward.

Presentation Here

I have decided to use a quarter grid system for my typographer. In the middle of the grid flush to the right is going to be the portrait of my typographer. I am going to run my paragraph on the right side also in two quarter squares at the bottom of my poster. On the left hand side I have 4 free quarters to put his type examples and name at the top. I am going to run the calendar around his portrait using different colors to represent the months and use his type.

Evert Bloemsma was inspired by swiss designs and typography, specifically Antique Olive. I am going to use that type face for the paragraph at the bottom or a similar typeface. I have outlined his own text to use as the numbers of the calendar. I have decided to use minimal color. He was a black and white personality and I want to use that in his poster and I will be adding a hint of red to the poster to bring the swiss colors into the poster and giving me another color to contrast with black and white.
