Selected by Print Staff, “15 Award-Winning Book Covers.” Printmag.com. Print, 23 March 2017. 13 September 2017.
I chose this piece because I thought it cleverly uses type in the title to imply the passage of time. For example, the designer chose to use a traditional font for "old" New York and then juxtaposed it with a sans-serif style font for present day New York. The designer also uses horizontal and vertical lines to imply a grid, also mentioned in the title. The street image does not over power the piece and sits well at the bottom giving the title it's prominence as it should.

I was attracted to this poster for its organic shapes and grid-like typographic layout. The poster invites the viewer to navigate a surrealistic landscape out of a Dali painting.
