EX2 – Typography 1: Cottingham Springboard Festival

Figure 1: A poster design for the Cottingham Springboard Festival 2022 inspired by Constructivist typography and triangulation.

Using constructive typography, this poster was created for the 2022 Cottingham Springboard Festival. All acts to appear have been included as well as a background image taken from their 2006 gallery of The Creek Cats (The Creek Cats, 2006). The Cottingham Council logo has also been incorporated to show some professionalism within the piece (Cottingham Parish Council, n.d.). The structure of the poster was inspired by Paula Scher’s 1979 Best of Jazz poster for CBS Records and El Lissitzky’s 1927 book cover, Architecture at Vkhutemas.
