DESIGN NAME: Utopian City
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Poster
INSPIRATION: Soviet Modernist architecture is steadily disappearing with the dismantling of the Soviet Union. Aside from politics, it has a meaning to be recorded as a symbol of an era. while this poster is a visual experiment, it also aims to record the culture of an era. Rethink the past for the future and discover some new possibilities.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This poster is created while exploring a new order of typography, fusing architectural motifs and letters. The Modern typography has a result of its extreme pursuit of functionality. As the sensibilities disappear, the design becomes the same without individuality. This is the opposite of the modern values that aim for diversity, and based on this problem, visual expression that allows sensibilities and reason to coexist is the goal.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This poster will be used as an experimental poster for typography and as an exhibit for design exhibitions. Typography posters have the same function as works of art.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Influenced by Constructivism, Bauhaus, and the Swiss international style, and Aiming for a Post Modern typography that coexists with reason without losing sensibilities .
CHALLENGE: The influence of Constructivism, Bauhaus and Swiss style is too strong. At the beginning, it is hard to jump out of it. When disassembling and transforming letters, I must refrain from reading the letters.
