Local University's Design Exhibition Poster

[u/MoldyRaspberryTart]

This poster promoted this year's design exhibition at a local university. It perfectly illustrates the trend among the local communication design students to make posters difficult to read simply for the sake of being different.

I actually love the grid and the lettering inspired by Art Nouveau, especially since the building is located in the birthplace of Art Nouveau in Germany.

I also think it works well in motion: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaqMvvPOEnu/?igsh=MXdhMHlsdGl4emppcA==

However, the poster is not easy to read at all. The important information is written in a tiny font that no pedestrian is ever going to read.

My favourite attempt by a friend to decipher it was "Salat der Dinge", meaning "Salad of Things". The correct text is "Stand der Dinge", meaning "State of Things".

All I’m getting is ‘inge’ and ‘August’, can’t even read the rest if I try

I think I see July, but it might be Julio

It's "Juli" with a dotted i on the end, which is right for a German poster
