The poster created to exhibit my final project at Type & Media began – like the typeface itself – as a reference to 19th century wood-type posters. Carrying on the advertising tradition of this medium, my poster presents a fake personal ad created entirely from real statements found on the New York Times and Craigslist personals sites. This offered a humorous yet appropriate way to showcase a project that had drawn so much from early advertising traditions.
The poster was exhibited at the KABK 2007–08 graduation exhibition. For photos of the poster on display, click the link below.
