I wanted to get better at making posters. I gathered 30 posters I thought were interesting and gave myself 5 minutes to remake each one to the best of my abilities using only Figma.
By imposing the time and tool restraints, I practiced quickly and effectively capturing the essence of what makes each poster work. Here are the results.
The goals of this exercise were to practice quickly dissecting the structures and systems of the work that I like, to observe and develop my own visual taste, and to put my Figma skills to the test.
My technical deliverable was to capture each poster's feeling and form in the allotted 5 minutes. I had to work with the existing fonts on my computer. At times, when I determined that a specific typeface was what gave the poster its essence, I found it worth my time to recreate certain letters or words using the pen tool.
