What is it?:
This poster was done by Matthew Lawson for my Graphic Design class at Appalachian State University in 1997(?). The assignment was to create a playing card in the style of an assigned designer. He actually drew on the wall of the men's bathroom with markers, photographed it, and then did some digital processing.
Analyze this piece: This poster has a sense of realness added especially since he actually did the typography by himself with hand. It adds the graffiti feel that you actually see in bathroom stalls but still has a design aspect to it.
How will this influence my work?: love the concept and the idea that not everything that is designed and has typography has to be done on the computer given a font. He didn't even illustrate the typography which could have been done. I think it is a unique approach and can be used in appropriate circumstances to add extra effects.
