April Greiman, to me, represents the attributes of what a designer should be; one that experiments in taking risks, while also embracing design in which can be represented as a period piece. Greiman embraced computer technology, software in which was newly introduced, as a design tool.
In Greiman’s work, their is a strong representation of New Wave style as an iconic era for the early 80s. With the implementation of experimental computer software, as well as the overarching addition of the New Wave color pallet, Greiman embraces the time as a period in which the world was also experimenting with fashion, lifestyle, and media (etc.).
In my “Little 500” poster, I wanted to reflect the work of Greiman through the fonts, colors, and halftones.
