My current project is taking me on a journey into typography and poster design from the late 19th Century. Partly inspired by the taxi meter talk at St Brides (which I will be quiet about soon!), and also because I wanted a nice poster for my portfolio, I've been asked to explore and represent the word 'authority' in a piece of graphic communication.
It's ongoing, with the deadline next week, but I've come across this lovely print which is available from Ink Posters . The layout is quite severe, but the typographic play and the subject matter make a really interesting print.
For my project, I'm trying to compare how authority has been enacted visually, and how this has developed over time. Results next week!
