DAILY POSTER SERIES
From January 1, 2023 through December 31, I challenged myself to create something every single day. This "challenge" is a fairly common exercise held in the design community and its goal is deeply personal. In this case, developing a routine, an intuition, and establishing a way of working that demands an abandonment of perfection, or even a plan at all.
The choice to develop a series of typographic experiments/tests/(re)constructions in this format was made partially for its established nature in the graphic design world and its potential to be imbued with ideas of space and topology that is so pervasive in architecture. Tugging at the ideas of legibility, spatial logics, field topologies, and representation was the main focus of the series, but attempting it in a much less serious way. Each day, the production of the poster was executed whenever it became convenient and was never longer than 60 minutes, and never done in advance. These imposed limitations were set to ensure the series would be a true exploration of my own personal process and force me to create in a completely different way/mindset.
The series culminates in a body of work that is significant only as an entire collection. Each work individually never presents a complete idea, and no idea can ever be represented in its totality. The posters are mere sketches and the series is essentially a sketchbook, executed through one medium and iterative in nature. As a final set of representation, the poster series lives in a zine, a 1 of 1 edition that houses the works, assets, failures, and thoughts on the benefit of taking on something of this nature.
