A few details about the project:
This project illustrates Mr. Carlin’s life in a bold, fun, and in-depth manner. The most eye-catching feature of the poster would be the mouth formed with brackets and parenthesis, and text blocks for teeth. This is symbolic for his facial hair later down the line in his career. All text is set in Univers (minus the text in his “beard” which is Bebas) and varying weights are utilized to demonstrate hierarchy in design and bring out the most important events in his lifetime. In the background you may have noticed some naughty words. The first seven naughty words that were not allowed to be said on TV or radio. Overall, the project encompasses a lot of data, and the challenge was to show that in an interesting fashion.
