Apollo 11 First Telegraph

Vintage Poster Design named First Telegraph
Ancient style design of the Poster Design Challenge Number 11 First Telegraph

As you can notice today’s Poster Design shows a vintage style because 180 years earlier was the First public demonstration of telegraph message sent using dots & dashes by Samuel Morse in New Jersey.
The style will remind you the “World Braille Day” poster number 4 and its dot who represente braille system.

About The Poster Design #11

I was thinking about what I will do for the Poster #11. So, I search what happens on this January 11th. I noticed The first telegraph more than anything and I felt that it would be nice to use a Vintage Style. The first​ question I asked myself was “How will I make it?” and “What is telegraph and what it meant at that time?”. I came to the conclusion that a new language must be learned by immersion. Then, I used the Morse Code for its graphics​ properties and I used it to​ translate the whole pieces​ of information​s on the Poster.

Dots and rectangles are simple geometric forms and I create it with variations such as a font with bold and a normal weight.

As usual, I hope you will can find a bit of inspiration in this video. It’s a long time assembling and editing videos in addition of make the posters everyday.
