Description

The California College of Arts and Crafts’s new San Francisco architecture and design building required a recruitment announcement poster. The imagery of the large bolt and energetic typography collide to symbolize the process of creating the new campus. In addition, the measuring rules and printers’s registration bar act as a metaphor for the entirety of the design disciplines.
