Typography I / ADES 1510

A memorable poster that brings art and design to public spaces.
The purpose of this poster is to use evocative typography in order to convey the meaning of a quote from Canadian illustrator, Marc Johns.
When I read “artsy fartsy,” I think of someone being cheeky towards another’s pretentious interest in fine art. Thus, I created a font inspired from “Comedian,” a controversial banana and duct tape sculpture by Italian artist Murizio Cattelan. As a result, this font is amusing to art know-it-alls and art laymen alike.
