Flatland Posters

Some of the designs brainstormed through to poster design. There were more mock up posters using these designs, but the mac I was working on in college froze, there was no time to re-design them. But what I can say is that the designs this lead to were stronger than them anyway. They had a uniform structure that tied them together as a set.




These posters had a turn around design time of about 4 hours, so they had to be very simple, but be effective. They were design to be screen or mono printed, depending on time available. They lend themselves to the processes as anything too animation simply does not work when mono printed.

The wireframe (3D) images were designed to be screen printed, as they are more complex and mono printing simply cannot achieve this.

These posters were designed around the concept of incorporating Lineland, Flatland and Spaceland (the different dimensions in the book 1D, 2D, 3D). The design in simple with a single colour for each poster plus black. We were intending to screen print them, but because of the snow we unfortunately ran out of time. However it does give us time to re-address them and continue producing alternative designs.

The type at the bottom is designed not to distract, the body copy especially. It is in letter gothic, a strangely tricky typeface to read, it is more there to add shape to the poster and some balance.

The word/title 'flatland' has been tracked and the 'F' has been made lower case. I thought this would create of a more logo like appearance, and perhaps a contempo approach to this classic novella.
