Get A Watch | Typographical Poster

•

This project that began in late April was based around the idea of designing a typographical poster that would help communicate the phrase/insult “Time to get a watch” (usually said when someone asks another person for the time) by the way of a visual style that combines minimalism and simplicity together.

As you will see, the final outcome consists of a clock that has had the hour and minutes hands removed, four of the twelve hour pointers (with the twelfth being coloured in red), a second hand, circular borders to help visualise the body of the clock, alongside the phrase “Get a Watch” that acts as a “verbal nod” to the signifier (the illustration content) being presented towards the viewer.

The display mockup for the final outcome places the design itself into a black frame that is then rested up against a wall that shares a similar colour to the dominant colour of the finished poster. This helps ensure that both elements blend together in a calm yet formal manner that isn’t too distracting, or make one seem out of place from the other.

So, be sure to tell me what you think in the comment section below!
