CULT OF THE UGLY
I challenged myself to create an “ugly”composition using a sentence from Steven Heller’s “Cult of the Ugly” (1993). I chose to design posters using this sentence: “When the layered, vernacular look is practiced in the extreme, whether with forethought or not, it simply contributes to the perpetuation of bad design.” I was inspired by designs featured in “Cranbrook Design: the New Discourse” and by punk rock posters from the 70’s and 80’s.
