We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Manuel Guerrero about their original and creative Poster series design work. Manuel Guerrero is an award-winning communication designer, that makes our world a better place with their original poster series works.
Manuel Guerrero ("MG") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Typographic Posters Poster series. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
MG : When tis project was made the aim was to communicate with the only use of typography. To do that, the reference in the work of designers like Müller-Brockmann, Wolfgang Weingart, Niklaus Troxler, Isidro Ferrer and Felix Beltran was very important to define the concept and the technique.
MG : My main focus was to design this posters was the use of typography through the use of lines and isometric perspective, this made a visual game where characters and typographic signs appears and disappears. This technique was shown to be an effective way to reproduce some principles of the optic art.
MG : I would like to get it seen by as many people as possible; getting it into as many exhibitions and publications as I can with the aim to eventually make posters to international clients.
MG : This is a collection of posters made during 2013 and 2015, the main idea came from the particular objective and the experimental use of type.
MG : These posters were commissioned by friends for different reasons, some for events and others for anniversary but in each case; the inspiration in the work of other designer was an important part of the design process.
MG : Each client produce their poster for their events, but I’m working to produce a collection of posters for exhibitions about the use of typography.
MG : The use of typography is an affordable vehicle for me to express myself at this stage in my life and explore the things I'm interested in.
MG : When I was a student the work of the designers like Müller Brockman, Wolfgang Weingart, Niklaus Troxler seemed great to me and now I see my work I find that taste is present.
MG : All people interested in culture and people how likes the visual design.
MG : In some cases the simplicity, and in others the perceptual game produced by lines and patterns.
MG : The name of this project represents the common characteristic in the collection of posters.
MG : Poster images were made with Adobe Illustrator using a grid of lines, with no 3D support, and printed in silkscreen in free-acid paper.
MG : Typographic posters are a perceptual experience related to how vision functions. As the Op Art, this project is based in two primary ways. The first, and best-known method is the creation of effects through the use of pattern and line. Another reaction that occurs is that the lines create after images of certain colors due to how the retina receives and processes light.
MG : Yes, some posters were printed in serigraph technic and specialized people help to produce this project.
MG : The use of computer was fundamental to make the posters in less time, but the technics used can do of manual form, but you need much time to produce it.
MG : This project involves the experimental use of type to make a visual game where the characters and typographic signs appears and disappears, because I like to play in the thin line where the letter perceives like a form and letter at the same time.
MG : The biggest challenge for this project was the typographic expression.
MG : In this occasion I receive a nomination to participate at this competition.
MG : I learn many things, especially in the process. But I know I have a long way to learn.
MG : Just say thanks
