Object Description: A graphic poster for Shakespeare's Hamlet. Anyone can read the play but many high schools incorporate this work into their curriculum so maybe young adults are the target?
Typeface Description: San serif and bold font. Very wide and heavy strokes. The type is overlapping and fading. The body copy is in an italic, scripted style serif.
How does it enhance message? The typography successfully expresses the darkness that is within the tragedy. The red symbolizes the bloodshed and the fading element describes the fading feeling in the tragedy as well. The body copy highlights certain moments within the play.
How will it influence me? I want to be bold with my designs and be successful at capturing a work by way of type and color.
