(B5) POSTER LAYOUT IDEAS

-


 

  • Another direction I was going to take in this project is designing five posters, one for each key feature. These would then be posted in locations close to a gothic building so people can see for themselves.
  • The first one for the flying buttress worked very well and I like the balance between the type and image. I basically fit the type around the imagery for the first poster and hoped to use the same typesetting throughout. However, it is clear that will not work as not all the key features are tall and narrow. 
  • If I do decide to create posters for this brief, I will have to find a layout that will benefit all of the images I created previously. 
  • I do think there is potential for this idea to work better than my map idea because it is more concise and can act as visual diagrams around Leeds to help people identify gothic buildings

(B5) KEY FEATURES OF GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE

Gothic style can vary depending on location, age and the type of building (the purpose as such). However, to identify these buildings architects use five key architectural features: Large stained glass windows This is why gothic architecture is usually associated with places of worship as this feature is prevalent in Gothic cathedrals.

The idea is to let in technicolour light.  It is also known that these windows frequently feature tracery, which is decorative stone support. Pointed arches Another identifiable feature is the pointed arches. These are found in most places of worship i.e churches and cathedrals. It is suggested that the pointed style of these arches was taken from Islamic architecture rather than the typical Romanesque buildings found typically in Europe. The idea behind the shape of these wind
