Type Director's Club 2023 Ascenders Poster

Editorial, Print

Decorative border

Objective:

Design a poster for the Type Director's Club Ascender Exhibition based around the letter "H."

Since this poster is for the 2023 Ascenders New York Exhibition, it showcases type in a unique way and incorporates aspects of NYC into the design. The poster itself is created to look like part of an exhibition, with the acrylic H seeming to glow in the red lighting.

The positioning with the H partially off the page is intended to help the H feel like it is towering over everything else, representing the NYC skyscrapers. The blackletter typeface in the main title is intended to pay homage to the New York Times.

This work has no affiliation with the Type Director's Club.
