Someone once said art is plagiarism or revolution.

I opted to keep it simple this time and settled with an image with centered white text. This is inspired by many of the advertising posters we come across in daily life and on the internet. Obviously, it’s not revolutionary. It’s popular, it looks good, it works.

I chose Helvetica because, as the saying goes, “when in doubt, use Helvetica.” The quote was chosen to suit the image. I had the seven types of typographic contrast in the back of my mind, but for simplicity’s sake, I decided to keep the weight, size, form, color, etc, uniform.

Despite not exploring the types of contrast, I learned to keep an open mind in exploring options.
