Typographic poster

This project is the typographic poster for my vector class.  We were asked to create a poster using typographic elements by manipulating and distorting words.  Examples were shown in class and, with a few tips from our teacher, we were let loose on the project.

I wanted to do something fun for my poster so I sketched some quotes and fun little things.  I ended up going for a quote from BBC's Doctor Who series that was a lot of fun to work with. 

I came up with a quick digital draft that I really liked.  I used Impact, a thick slab font, paired with a thin sanserif typeface called Arsenal.  The contrast puts emphasis on the more important words.  I also squished the middle letters of the word pears to put the "let me eat" part into a bit of a cool position.

I wanted to try putting the words in a pair shape, but I found the attempts to be quite difficult and I didn't have a lot of time for it.  These are some of my simpler digital drafts.

I ended up staying with my original draft with a few alignment and spacing tweaks, as suggested by my teacher, to put on the finishing touches. 

Voila!
