Brooke Garner


This is a poster design by Rachel Han, a visual communicator based in Singapore. The poster is intended for those interested in post-modernist and radically contemporary styles. San serifs are used for the numbers and the word ‘odyssey,’ and serifs are used for the other words in the poster. Han uses surrealism, distorted type and geometric shapes to offer different perceptions for her viewers. Some of the text is legible, such as the numbers, but the movement of letterforms repeated closely after another create more of a shape or form that is visually interesting. The recurring movement of letterforms creates a sense of space and time. I like the amount of white space surrounding the letterforms, numbers and geometric shapes, because it gives the eye a break from the dramatic movement of the words. I plan on experimenting more with letterforms to make my designs more interesting and creative.
