Selected for 20th Int. Poster and Graphic Arts Festival of Chaumont
SLOGAN:'Donner au train des idées d’avance'. Slogan to celebrate the 70 years of the Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Francais (SNCF), this slogan had to be visualized on the poster.
CROPPED:the letters of the sentence 'Donne au train des idées d’avance' are cropped as if it were a panorama seen through the window of a moving train
2008 · Poster · Ulm lecture in Bremen 23rd Forum Typografie
70 x 100 cm · Silkscreen
LECTURE:this poster was made especially for the lecture Niessen & de Vries gave at the 'Hochschule für Künsten Bremen' about the design school Ulm (influential in the sixties); by analyzing the process of making this poster they illustrated the tension between 'Moralists and Aesthetes', which Niessen & de Vries thought was an interesting viewpoint on the movements within the design school Ulm.
MERGE:the two key words on the poster, 'Moralists' and 'Aesthetes', have the same number of letters (9) and are overlaid in opposite directions. This way the two notions merge into each other, while the words can also be read independently by turning the poster 180 degrees.
