Dude, chill out. Its not like he came in here and said OMG SUCKKKKzzz
that's the best piece of constructive criticism I've ever seen on this site, in my 5 long years.
I say his post is good enough to negate the gravedigging.
His post is a contrived sack of shit that basically looks like it was copied out of the beginner's guide to typography.
The only thing I agree with Channel_49 about is the color choices, and in retrospect I may have approached it differently.
First off, my so-called lack of grid.
Since you seem so well versed in design, channel_49, you should have been able to pick up on the painstakingly obvious fact that this poster is heavily based off the Bauhaus style, which largely focused on geometry and the forming of geometrical shapes. The grid is based on 90 degree angles and is set to a preconstructed layer of shapes. Second, my type choice is not based on "individual letter qualities;" rather, it was based on the overall geometric qualities of the typeface in addition to their "space-age" qualities. I wanted to collide Bauhaus and futurism, a message, which, according to two design professionals who teach at Parsons, was accurately represented.
Finally, a copious amount of text is not reason to eliminate a slanted grid.
