Ligatura

Poster commissioned for an exhibit named Ligatura (ligature). To reflect the core idea of ligature, we opted to use a typeface that featured closed apertures, increasing the "connective tissue" of the typeface. The composition created the meaning of ligature way too far, linking all the letters together in unexpected ways. Persisting with the idea of connection and continuity, we took a frame from one of the videos and arranged it as if the frame had frozen. This allowed for several posters to be stacked and both the image and composition can flow between posters. The poster is a ligature.
