Quotes Typography Poster

Based on the quote i received by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon "La propriété, c'est le vol" (all property is theft) i went on to research the person who said it and to create a poster that reflected the research i had found about Pierre-Joseph Proudhon.

Proudhon was a french MP who was the first person to call him self an anarchist. Based on this finding i wanted to reflect the nature of what he said and the ideologies and sentiment that the quote and Proudhon reflected.

Although the quote was said in the 1840's i wanted to show how the context of the quote related to communist Russia. I looked at fonts that i thought were quote strong and bold, ones that resembled russian fonts from the time, as well as, fractured and stenciled fonts relating to the turbulent and fractured society and the anarchic ideologies people took up in the name of communism.



Out of these fonts then experimented using them on the poster format and seeing how they worked with colour.








I chose the red and black to represent the colours of the communist party so it was in keeping with the quote and the font so the the communist movement is conveyed on each level.

This is my final design





As part of the project i also designed a poster advertising the quotes exhibition. For this i wanted to experiment with type and cutting up letters.
