CUDO PRO SHOW
Today I went to Indi Go Gallery to see the CUDO (Champaign Urbana Design Organization) PRO SHOW, an exhibit of graphic design pieces by professional designers in the local area. It was quite impressive and enjoyable!
I apologize for the quality of the photo and the description. However, I wanted to post the winning piece, which is really pretty cool. The illustrative design is brilliantly clever and the message is really easy to read from it. So simple, yet it probably took the designer a LONG time to get the shapes and curves just right. I like the typefaces he chose - simple, easy to read, modern but classy. It's definitely an eye-catcher!
It has some elements of Swiss/international style - straightforward, to-the-point, simple, abstract (somewhat), symbolic, only the totally necessary elements are there. The only thing I can think of that isn't really typical of Swiss style in this poster is that it's pretty much symmetrical. I love the simplicity, the minimalism, the stark contrast. There were a lot of really great posters and other pieces of graphic design, though, and it's hard to say how they chose this for the first place award, but I think it's deserving of it.
The show closes this Tuesday (Oct. 29), so if you haven't had a chance to see it, better hop to it if you don't want to miss it!
