Lyceum Fellowship Poster Call for Entries 2024

- Hook
- Vertical striped columns run the full height like a folded or scanned surface, and a wide low-set title crosses them near the bottom third while small text blocks align down the left edge.
- Hierarchy
- The doubled title anchors the lower half, the striped field competes deliberately with it, and the small aligned data blocks are read last as a quiet index.
- Energy
- A high-contrast serif display line is overprinted so its letters double and misregister, set against very small widely letterspaced sans caps used for all secondary information.
- Transfer
- Let a display line partially misregister or overlap the image field so the two occupy one plane, and hold the composition together with a single strict alignment for all small text.
Why it works
Overlapping the display line with the moiré field makes type and image share one plane, while consistent left alignment of tiny text keeps a visually noisy sheet organised.
What to borrow
Let a display line partially misregister or overlap the image field so the two occupy one plane, and hold the composition together with a single strict alignment for all small text.
Look closer
CompositionOpenClose
Vertical striped columns run the full height like a folded or scanned surface, and a wide low-set title crosses them near the bottom third while small text blocks align down the left edge.
TypographyOpenClose
A high-contrast serif display line is overprinted so its letters double and misregister, set against very small widely letterspaced sans caps used for all secondary information.
HierarchyOpenClose
The doubled title anchors the lower half, the striped field competes deliberately with it, and the small aligned data blocks are read last as a quiet index.
Image strategyOpenClose
The image is an abstract optical structure of stripes and blurred forms; the type is embedded inside that structure rather than placed on top of a clean panel.
Color strategyOpenClose
Black and white striping with a soft cyan gradient entering from the edges and the right-hand block, so colour reads as atmospheric light rather than a fill.
