DIGITAL TYPE POSTER

This poster series was created to promote a lecture with Ferdinand Ulrich, in which he discussed the process and history of typography digitization. The series visually represents the topic of the lecture, which focused on how physical typography is transformed into digital formats. The design of the posters highlights the connection between the past and the present, showcasing the evolution of typography over time.

POSTERWALL

The quote 'I wonder what ants do on rainy days' is from the book 'Norwegian Wood' by the acclaimed Japanese author Haruki Murakami, known for his ability to evoke powerful emotions through his writing. For this poster design, I was inspired by the quote's sense of curiosity and enigma.
