Lyceum Fellowship Poster Call for Entries 2024

Nancy Skolos, Thomas Wedell

Honourable Mention · official source below
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

CompositionOpen

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.

TypographyOpen

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.

HierarchyOpen

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 strategyOpen

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 strategyOpen

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.
