While working on projects for my typography class, I got hooked on re-creating Constructivist and Modernist posters. I find it a great way to learn about design. Here’s my take on a Bruno Monguzzi poster (original here).

Though these posts seem simple at a glance, there’s a lot of underlying geometry to the design. For example, in my re-creation above, the bar thicknesses and headline type sizes are in ratios of 4:3:2 to each other, and the word “Typography” fits exactly in the space between the red & blue bar edges. Oh how I would’ve loved to have the lower case “h” in “Typography” line up with the blue bar edge, too…

Audio mixing is turning out to be much slower work (1 hour of work for 1 minute of movie), not only because the process is just plain slower, but because I can only do it for 1–1.5 hour chunks of time.  Just like during a concert, my ears get fatigued and it’s hard to hear the full spectrum of audio.  So, I alternate: 1 hour mixing, 1 hour quiet. 

Today, I decided to be a little less of a perfectionist, so I suspect I’ll be able to go much, much faster now.  It’s not like I’m trying to make a surround sound, theatrical mix; just something good enough for your TV.
