Gesch-Expressive Type


The Recording Academy, Client
Steve Yee, art director
Eric Arnold, writer
Patrick Condo/Bob Rayburn, creative directors
Rob Schwartx, chief creative officer

I found these posters in my latest issue of Communication Arts. I love the fonts, colors, and it really excites me how awesome this looks!

Webber - Bring da Noise, Bring da Funk























I remember when we saw the video in class about the lady who created the Citi Bank logo as well as this poster for a off Broadway dance show. This poster is great because it perfectly conveys the message about show that loud, noisy and fun. The reviews and different sized text make the poster loud and busy. Would be interesting to see text inside a silhouette of a dancer with a oversized text across the background. The white poster is also featured in the Pentagram book.


Karissa Cardoza - Expression

i found these nuggets of goodness on http://f**kyeahtypography.tumblr.com, they typically post some pretty rad type images. Even though some of these aren't really what we are doing in class, i think they are creative solutions to expressing the word/phrase.

Ann Morris - Expressive Type - Riot

I love this one for this assignment... this is a perfect example of expressive type. This album cover was done by the music industry art director Mark Obriski for Paramore's 2007 album Riot. Paramore is a punk group, that is compared to such groups as No Doubt, having a female lead singer. There influences are groups like Jimmy Eat World and Death Cab for Cutie.

Godwin, Philip Cheaney


This was done by Philip Cheaney; an MFA student and practicing designer at the SVA in New York city. I like the simplicity...all he realy needed was a "growing" g.

GARCIA, Concert Poster


Here is a beautiful event poster from Wes Wilson for the Jefferson Airplane/Quicksilver Messenger Service/Lightnin' Hopkins concert from 1966. For this work, he was intrigued with the sensory aspects of concertgoers in San Francisco, and reflected those ideas into a very organic, expressive and psychedelic masterpiece. Rock n' roll.

Hartfield, Expressive Type

So I thought i was going to have a hard time selecting a piece for this because all of my initial ideas had been posted immediately (Jay Z, Grammy posters etc) but I remembered I own a piece of expressive type. I volunteer for SXSW every year (except for this year, thank you Texas State) and in 2009 the interactive tote bag looked like this:
They have had a few totes and different things around the conference with expressive type but i clearly remembered this one. The designer is Mike Rhode.

Perry- Expressive Type

This poster was for a James Brown concert, and the designer Sergio Moctezuma made it out of type. The type in his face are his personality characteristics for instance "The Godfather of soul" and etc. The other words he is supposedly singing about are his lyrics. The poster was done sometime before may 6th, to have it ready to promote the concert, but the year I am not sure of.

Typolution

I remember watching this a while back & had forgotten about. My ComDes professor (Houser) showed it to the class last semester & I was even more impressed by it the second time around.
If you haven't seen this yet, it's definitely worth a view.

Blog Assignment WEEK #3: Expressive Type

BLOG ASSIGNMENT Week 3:
Post up an image of type being used expressively as we are with our current project (Proj 2 Expressive Type). Posters, Ads, Bookcovers, CDs, etc. If you google search "expressive type" you end up with school projects similar to ours. I do not want those! I would like real samples from real designers.

Included in your post: Client Name/Design Firm (Designer)/Year if possible
Add the labels "expressive" & "class time". Remember to add a comma between the words.

This will take some time to find. It may be best to approach this by physically scanning in an image from a book or magazine you find.
