About the Poster Design:
Typography is a visual language which quickly establishes a mood and sets the tone for communication with the viewer. For our poster celebrating "about face, a year of typography", we chose two artists to express two facets of typography. One side is refined and understated (designed by Alice Young, MGDC) and the other is rebellious and fun (designed by Matt Salik).
