Graphic design workshop poster combining electric blue background with fragmented black-and-white photography integrated into large-scale typography.
Summary
A graphic design workshop poster using Swiss modernist principles: electric blue field with fragmented black-and-white photography cropped into oversized sans-serif type, creating visual tension through scale and collage.
Visual description
Bright blue background (approximately CMYK 100/60/0/0) dominates a vertical poster format. Large-scale, bold sans-serif letterforms run vertically down the left edge ("SUNDAY 29TH JANUARY 2017") with event time below. Fragmented black-and-white architectural photographs pierce through the typography, creating cutouts that reveal interior imagery. Top right and lower right contain smaller text blocks announcing "THE RAMBUTAN MEETS COMMONS" and "GRAPHIC DESIGN MEETS THE SOCIETY", with additional venue and URL details at bottom (TCDC Commons, Bangkok). Right margin shows a vertical URL reference. The photograph fragments appear to show interior spaces, urban architecture, and geometric structures. No rounded corners or soft edges, strict geometric composition.
Key takeaway
The photo-through-type technique cuts across figure-ground hierarchy; fragments of image create visual interest without requiring full photographs. The strict vertical type hierarchy and asymmetric photograph placement create compositional movement. High saturation blue provides dramatic color contrast against black-and-white material.
Reuse notes
Strong template for cultural events, design workshops, or institutional promotion where you have compelling subject photography and want to signal sophistication through restraint. Works best with clear photography that fragments legibly. Needs black-and-white source images to maintain contrast against bright background. Not for soft, warm, or playful brands.
