Zip | Typographical Poster

•

This project that began in mid April was based around the idea of designing a typographical poster that would help combine text and illustration elements together, through the use of a minimalistic visual style, for the sole purpose of presenting a “visually-literal” description of the word “Zip”.

As you will see, the final outcome consists of the letters “Z” and “P” being displayed in a standard Helvetica Neue font, while the letter “I” is made from a collection of shapes that all-in-all depict a standard garment zip, whilst maintaining the original proportions of the letter itself.

To push the overall depth of the design that little bit further, I decided to include lighting gradients alongside a grain texture in order to help push away from a look that I felt would appear far too flat, and way too polished for my own personal liking.

So, be sure to tell me what you think in the comment section below!
