  • simplicity, minimalism
  • order, clarity, grids
  • geometric, abstraction
  • typography, legibility
  • rational, objective
  • universal, unity
  • Using different fonts sizes
  • Using of effective photography

This poster showed the use of photography and typography, rather than illustration. Objective photography was seen as an excellent way to communicate.

Line perspective, mirroring against a volume, movement and grid system. 

By projecting a number of closely parallel lines that converge in more places in and around the composition  directly show 3-dimensional space. The parallel lines's surface have several different angles of reflection it becomes a volume. Volumes distort the reflected object and the mirroring is no longer symmetrical about an axis.

Thus, can be shown as a sequence or some illusion of motion when we look at it for a long time. The art of placing elements is well-structured, balanced designs despite not being use of the grid.

Therefore, the plane, the straight line, the rectangle becomes the pillar in art.

  • In the poster, the use of austere geometry and color to create asymmetrical but balanced compositions that conveyed the harmony.

  • Neo-Plastic compositions juxtapose horizontal and vertical lines along with the primary colors of red, yellow, and blue against the non-colors of black, white, and grey to produce timeless balance.

  • The larger the font size is, the more important is to show the reader focus on the main point.
  • The black texts lie on top of orange texts, the first overlaps the second. When overlapping visually appear to be one type of new form they become a new compound form.
  • Geometric figures (rectangle) also spices up the whole image, making it look sharper and purpose directed.

  • This poster, different font-sizes provide readers with the necessary details. Huge words are the entry points, the top-level elements in the content’s information architecture and page’s hierarchy. This is a very efficient way of guiding the reader’s eyes through the page, thus working as an interface to the content.
  • The contrast between text and its background are reduced as the distance between them increases. This is why a darker cast colour appears closer. 
  •  The visual weights of huge and tiny words in a composition are in equilibrium, the composition is in balance.
  • Despite without an object showing movement, however texts arrangement along create an imaginary line which is the line path (vertical).

  •  The geometric share the same characteristic, distance between repeated geometric is identical,  repetition and frequency are created.
  • Symmetry is considered beautiful, but static. 
  • The arrangement of geometric and text are equilibrium, balance is created.
  • Although they shared the same characteristic however the bright colour (orange-yellow)  become focal points in a design tend to move to the forefront. This creates the positive and negative form.
