The overprinting technique is simplistic and visually interesting. This is why I chose to center my poster around Massimo Vignelli. An influential designer who worked on very diverse projects, always focusing on a clean but appealing design.

To create this poster I first looked into who Vignelli was as a designer. I did this so that I could find the perfect quote and write a fitting informative paragraph. Then I launched InDesign and started creating possible layouts; keeping in mind Vignelli’s clean design style. Once I decided on the layout and colors for the poster I brought the image of him into Photoshop to create a monotone image. To finish I cleaned up any slight misalignments and focused on crafting my text. I often look back on this poster to remind myself that good clean design is far better than a design that tries to fill too much white space.
