John F. Kennedy

JFK Poster

The challenge that was presented in this project was that we had to portray a historical event that was assigned to us only through typography. There could not be any utilization of other elements such as pictures and text descriptions of the event. I chose the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. I wanted to utilize his initials because they are historically significant and whenever anybody recognizes the initials they immediately think of the president which is what I was going for. Furthermore, to lay the foundation, I had a solid black ground with minimal type with the day and where it occurred.
