Day 18: The Programme

Some posters carry a lot of information: names, dates, venues, times, sponsors. The challenge is to keep a dense poster readable and still visually interesting. Clear typographic hierarchy, consistent styles and good grouping let a viewer scan the essentials first and the details later.

Objective. Organise a large amount of typographic information into a clear, attractive system.

Design a lineup poster for a fictional three-day film festival with at least fifteen screenings.

Invent the festival name, the films, the venues and the screening times.

• Typography only
• At least fifteen screenings across three days
• Maximum two typefaces
• Maximum three colours

• All information present and readable
• Clear, consistent styles for each level
• A strong overall visual impression

Design a style sheet showing every text style used, with its size, weight and spacing.
