Dada Final Poster



Final Dada Poster

This is my final Dada poster, i put a lot of thought into the poster and decided that i wanted to work mostly with text above image to convey the Dada theme. I concentrated on the Dada designer 'Tristan Tzara' mostly and used his interesting development of an aesthetic anarchy through typography as my inspiration. My work reflects his "Dada Aesthetic" journal from 1917 in its use of typefaces and improvisation. I chose the Truism of "people are responsible for what they do unless they're insane" as i believe it was an accurate representation of what the Dada artists were making a stand against in that time, i.e. statements of war and patriotism. So the truism is a reference to peoples choice of actions and responsibility to them.
