To create the title for the poster of my design, I cut out various letterforms from a magazine and put them together to spell out “The Beauty of Speed and Motion” which is one of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti’s quotes from ‘The Foundation and Manifesto if Futurism’. I kept the text scattered to depict noise and used no baseline or straight lines within the title to keep it asymmetric and non structures.
To make the main title of the poster I used a variety of different fonts in upper and lower case, all varying in thickness and size. I took individual letters, some serif and some sans serif and put them together to make each word of the title in a Futurist style.
I carried out the same process with each of the words to spell ‘The Beauty of Speed and Motion.’ I wanted to give an element of futurism to the words but wanted it to still be clear what the quote was trying to say, so left all the letterforms relatively in line with each other. I put all the words at an angle to try and give an asymmetric feel, and used a mixture of red and black to give it contrast and make it stand out.
