Rundown

  • Chalkboard poster design

  • using photography with layout design

    Class project with the medium of photography and typography. I was choosing specific words to describe Dana Tanamachi to highlight small details about her career. My inspiration was from her work with Oprah Winfrey; she was a chalk artist and created this magazine cover using at least nine different colors, seven different typefaces, and utilizing foreground and background contrast between the model and the typography.

I was inspired by her various use of typefaces, sizes, and colors so I did a reflection of her style. The most important parts of designing this layout were a hierarchy, expressive typeface, colors, and a photograph to deliver a message to represent Dana’s style.
