(The poster being custom-made with a client, it features aesthetic characteristics specific to the client’s tastes and requests. My input and experience here serve as support, resulting in a more general description and analysis.)
The composition of the poster is made up of three types of elements. First, we can find bones and a complete skeleton derived from English archival texts focused on the study of Diplodocus remains. Then, in association with these bone scans, there are textual elements explaining and naming the bones. Finally, the poster is supported by an illustration from artistic archives of an English museum, now in the public domain, depicting a scene of life of this dinosaur in its natural environment.
The creation of the poster is based on four stages.
The selection of bones from a large quantity of available resources was the most time-consuming and meticulous task, as each scanned bone was enhanced by correcting wear marks, improving its color and consistency, and finally reprocessed to maintain an old encyclopedic effect.
Next, their layout is based on their occupation of space as graphic elements, arranged by osteological families, with the dinosaur’s head at the top, the complete skeleton and limbs, and the vertebral column and ribs in the center.
Thirdly, the transcription of captions and other textual details uses a typeface characteristic of the encyclopedic and typewriter style, with added textures and effects to ensure readability and aesthetic quality.
Finally, the bottom illustration was also enhanced in its details and contrasts to preserve its original beauty, while ensuring clarity and balanced contrast relationships, supporting the information density of the upper section.
The typefaces used are Century731 BT Bold for the body text (contextual elements and captions) and Century Book Regular for the title at the top. The choice of a serif typeface, commonly used in scientific publications or encyclopedias, responds to the client’s request and ensures readability. The title and theme at the top reflect the encyclopedic style and provide immediate context.
Like the typography, the color choices of the main poster are based on the theme and the credibility of the subject, aiming to resemble an authentic encyclopedic publication. The black-and-white version offers a more artistic, newspaper-like effect, while the colored alternative introduces an engraving style, providing an aesthetic variation while maintaining the original concept and brief requirements.
