GAIA CONDENSED
For "Gaia Condensed", I designed a more abstract type specimen poster. The font was designed to build artwork through the design of the letterforms, so I accomplished just that.
I initially encountered the same problem that I did with the "Slayer Movie" poster: too chaotic with a lack of cohesion. This time, however, I understood my mistake and redesigned the poster.
I leaned in heavily to the architectural designs of the letterforms. The letters looked artificial and digital, which I then associated with video game environments. I created iterations based on this approach and found satisfaction with the designs.
As for the colors, I drifted from the red and blue usually associated with "Gaia Condensed". Instead, I settled on green because the design resembled both a grassy landscape and a circuit board. Overall, this project taught me about organized chaos and abstraction in design.
