My Thumbnail Layouts

The next half of the lesson I put together six thumbnail layout designs for my typography poster. I chose two quotes and did three designs of each. I experimented with colours, fonts and layouts to find out what works best for my poster. I did this on Adobe Illustrator and here are the results:

As you can see I used very bold, bright colours to stand out and to be clearly seen. It also makes the poster easy to read and eye-catching. The first two designs are very simple and minimalistic, however on the third version of this I added outlines and borders to add a bit more interest, although I'm not convinced that this worked very well as it looks quite unprofessional.

The last three designs are my favourite and this will be the quote that I use for my final poster design. The second but last layout is my overall favourite, as I included a transparent background pattern which really adds to the design. Although on the other hand, the solid, flat colours used on the other two are very bold, which makes the type stand out.
