Week 1 - Student Activites Poster

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with the student activities group that created this poster. I respect their group and their members. I'm just using these images as an example of typography that could be improved upon and to give an honest critique.



The Font:
The font of the logo is ShowcardGothic. The it appears to be a modern, sort of funky font. It's being used to advertise for the particular student group and I assume it's used to grab the eye of someone walking by. As far as it's use, it seems to be fine, but I don't like the use of black on such a dark green color. The color of the background should be lighter, or the color of the text should be brighter.



My sticking point with this poster is that in this image, you can see a close-up of some important points. Reasons why students should join the group. I understand they were using for emphasis, but really a blocky, bold, funky font like this should be restricted to logos and large headings. A cleaner sans-serif font with possibly brighter colored text or a brighter colored background should go here instead.

I saw this in the C-wing of Parkland, I've passed by it many times, and it always kind of confused me. I couldn't read much of the text well, so I had to get very close to it in order to read it properly

With a few modifications, I think the poster could be much improved.
