Off-Grid Typography Assignment, Year 1, Semester 2

Graphic design student, Kaiden Faille designed a poster using off-grid style typography, using a quote from an anime and manga series, Nana. The quote is from titular protagonist, Nana Osaki. "Hey Hachi, no matter how much or how often people hurt each other, loving someone is never a waste."

For my design theory class, I had to experiment with both kinds of grid styles. My favourite of the two, my off-grid version, is the one I love the most, and more worthy of being shown in my portfolio.

I used Helvetica for my font, and I was heavily inspired my Ai Yazawa’s manga and anime series, Nana, as I had recently finished it. I had put the title of the series in the far back on low opacity, though it’s one thing of this piece I regret!
