Numbers
April 18th, 2010 by Patrick Hill
I designed this poster in class as an advertisement for a mathematics conference. I definitely had some inspiration from Herb Lubalin’s Families logo but the idea really developed after I had been staring at the numbers in my layout for so long that I began to see them as forms instead of numbers. When this context disappeared, the resemblance of the number one to a person just popped out to me. I decided to bookend the central figures with consecutive numbers to make sure they would be still be recognized as ones and not just as people.

I would have to comment this is an wonderful piece of work. I say this needs mentioning somewhere else. Would you mind if I placed a link on my site to this post?
