This was a challenging project that pushed me to make multiple unique designs only using text while not crashing my computer. The assignment was to make 3 posters. The first was to make a poster only using a serif font, The second was to make a poster only using a sans serif font, The last poster could include both serif and sans serif, but it also had to include a lot of information for the performance of Move Me Soul.
All the posters used some form of duplication of text. While my computer could handle a fair amount of text duplication, it struggled to process the sheer number of text duplications I gave it. This was also further complicated by the fact that the text layers each had their own drop shadow. This made working with the posters difficult, but it was also very challenging when it came time to export the posters. The assignment had a maximum file size submission of 10 MB. With all of the effects and text duplications my file was 400 MB. While images are easy to compress without losing quality, text is much harder to condense. However, by reducing the number of anchor points I was able to meet the 10 MB limit.
