The Brief
The goal was to create an informative poster that showcases Helvetica while demonstrating strong typographic hierarchy, layout, and composition. The design needed to balance informational content with visual experimentation using the typeface itself.

My Approach
I built the composition around Helvetica’s clean geometric forms, using oversized type, vertical text, structured columns, and a limited red, black, and white color palette. The large “HELVETICA” headline establishes the main focal point while supporting text provides information about the typeface and its history.
