Bauhaus Poster

School project performed during the third semester. The assignment was to choose one of the big graphic design styles and implement the key features of that style onto a poster for a fictional workshop about the 17 global goals.

The typefaces used in the poster are Helvetica and Joschmi. Joschmi is one of the five typefaces developed from unfinished work at the Bauhaus school of design, rediscovered nearly a century later. These are called the “Hidden treasures of the Bauhaus Dessau” and are available through Adobe Fonts. The modular shapes that make up the Joschmi alphabet consist of half circles, quarter circles and square strokes with half-round terminals.

Helvetica is Helvetica.

One of the trademarks of the bauhaus-style is the use of three basic shapes, the circle, triangle and square, as well as the primary colors. These are implemented in a functional way, as punctuation or to draw attention to important information.
