The influence for the typeface is from is a Cadillac advertisement for the 1958 Supremacy. The extreme serif design is what attracted my attention to the form design in the advertisement.

The purpose of this project was to create intriguing information design developed on a concept of our choice.

We created our imagery, collectively – by working on each other’s imagery during several days in our class while listening to Miles Davis – Bitches Brew. What we received from that creative collaboration was what we had to work with.
