JAZZ
FOUNDATIONS
Typographic poster
Working exclusively with type, I used extreme shifts in scale to build texture and contrast, while treating negative space as an active compositional element rather than an afterthought.The central concept was jazz itself — the idea of organized chaos: music that feels spontaneous and free yet is rooted in deep structural knowledge. To express that tension visually, I leaned into the assignment's grid system as a framework for controlled disorder — using it to choreograph overlapping text, unconventional paragraph settings, and deliberate compositional breaks that feel improvisational on the surface, but are structurally intentional underneath.
