NICHOLAS NEGROPONTE POSTER
Poster design for UCLA Regents’ Lecturer Nicholas Negroponte. February 8, 2007, 6:00 pm. Lecture: Eliminating Poverty by Learning Learning.
The second I learned that I was going to design a poster for Negroponte, I had the solution in mind—a large black dot. Simple and minimal. The posters printed 44 x 56 inches, on uncoated smooth paper. The black dot was so dark and velvety that seemed like a black hole. The best moment was when artist and UCLA professor Barbara Kruger walking towards the elevators at the Broad Art Center, glanced at the poster, turned around, slowly apporached the poster, reached to the black dot and softly touched it, letting her elevator ride leave without her.
Recipient of a Merit Award from the American Institute of Graphic Arts.
