ePosters : Objective Map |
||
I was using the structure of an assigned project to explore some issues about type in transition. The project, in short, was to create six posters that would work in a museum on any subject. The posters were in three pairs determined by their rhetorical stance on the subject—objective, explicit negative, and explicit positive. The pair needed to include the metaphors of map and luggage. The first part of the project was to write a lengthy manuscript about the subject to use in the posters. I chose a film history museum and the subject of Dogme 95, the 1995 manifesto by Lars Von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg that highly influenced what is possible in film and spawned 35 films under its aims. My manuscript was a narrative about a filmmaker committing to make a Dogme 95 film and his/her love-hate relationship with the manifesto. The posters were to be subversive intertitles / signage in the museum. I designed the posters around the new technology of ePaper, which can hold video images. A portion of the map poster loop is above. The text lists all of the movies made under Dogme 95, across the world. The transitions are modeled after the spinning globe. The film titles start in Denmark, moving around the globe. |
