Frank Ghery Brochure/Poster




This was an assignment given for Typography I as an exercise in using large amounts of text with imagery.  We were to design a tri-fold poster that could be mailed for the Frank Ghery Architectural Exhibit at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

For this poster I chose to focus on Ghery's sketches, finding them much more interesting than than the final architectural buildings he created.  His sketches have a certain life to them; an abstract and organic essence that seems to breath and move on the page.  With this in mind, I chose to use a stable grid structure on which to place the type in order to contrast with the organic sketches.  The two together provide a harmonious balance, much like his architectural buildings.
