Today’s second design inspiration is a poster for the 2012 Bologna Festival, which seems to be a classical music festival. I would love to tell you more about the event itself, but when I checked out their site, it was all in Italian. Sometimes I claim to be trilingual, however Italian isn’t one of the 3 languages.
What I can talk about is the design of the poster. The first thing that caught my eye (and most likely yours too) was the use of positive and negative space. With the 2 violins strategically placed and the clever use of a “floating” bow tie, the white space appears to look like a human figure. The font, which looks to be Trajan, seems to work with the higher class style poster even though it was ranked as one of the worst fonts in 2012 multiple times. I like the logo design for the event as well. It combines music notes and building/cathedral windows which is most likely where the event is held. (via From Up North)
