Nest - Space - Influences

For this project, I have looked at some of the designers that have influenced me previously, the foremost influential being Wolfgang Weingart. Weingart's work uses a combination of Swiss and new wave to produce incredible pieces of design which break convention. Weingart employs a number of techniques in his work such as Collage, typesetting and print, these three different disciplines come together to form content heavy posters and prints which are loud and brash.

Weingart uses shape and imagery (Usually manipulated imagery) mixed with typography in such a way that it is almost un-legible but remains brilliantly visual in a way which almost shouts off of the page. His content choices are brash and mixed up using old buildings, patterns and basic shapes all thrown onto the page with a great outcome. Weingart uses a very limited colour pallet, usually sticking to just black and white though on occasion incorporating another colour within it (Usually red or yellow, primary colours which will compliment the black parts of the page) As seen below Weingarts use of colour though rare usually occurs through his type.
