Posters cont.
The aim of my taxonomy posters is to classify these images of street type and markings into colour and texture... ?
A valid classification?
I'm a little bit stuck as to the statements I'm going to use on these posters...
It's one thing to taxonomize information, eg. an ornithologist would taxonomize birds, which is useful for research and museums, but it would not tell us how birds fly. Therefore my taxonomy posters can show images of type and markings, ideas about noticing and observing, but does it have to be this greater thing other than just the ideas around taxonomy itself... ? What kind of taxonomy of typographic street language do we need? What is the purpose?
These are the 4 taxonomies and statements that I'm thinking of using:
1: Taxonomy: Street typography only
"Design can be art. Design can be communication. Street typography can be communicational art."
2: Taxonomy: Red
"?"
3: Taxonomy: Yellow
"Design must seduce, shape, and perhaps more importantly, evoke an emotional response." April Greiman
4: Taxonomy: Blue
"? "
These posters are not finished, obviously, because of the black letters that still need filling. I'm also not so pleased with the red statement. So need to rephrase/rethink it.
