all the lecturers' names got subjugated into forming the huge "SCI-ARC" tag.

it's obviously hard to read, but thats why i personally find interest in it..

it represents sciarc... likes to stir things up and start trouble....

reminds me of TI's new album cover:

it is hard to read - that's true - but as Sci-Arc have always been the ones who aren't afraid of change, it's nice to finally see a school poster that isn't all about starf**king!

you can always recognize defensive sci arc students' posting, who bought into things long gone.
kind of boring poster.

There is an interesting hierarchy in the legibility and size of the text. I suppose that it could be argued that by conceptually allowing the lecturers' names to form the "SCI-ARCH" title, the poster implies that the "image" of the school is created by the people (and their ideas/work). However, despite a potentially interesting concept, the size and legibility of the "SCI-ARCH" title compared to the lecturers' names causes the play of text to simply come off as branding, at best.

It's good.

This is a little bit similar to GSD lecture poster! so difficult to read.

LOVE it.

This is really a two part poster:

The bottom small text is the only useful part, and the part you would have to run up close to read.

The top part is just a "Neon Sign," all flash and only there to catch your attention. If you had to actually use the poster, you would just consult the bottom where the information is in standard text and format.

It's still obnoxious because the poster obviously wants you to try to use the silly SCI-ARC part of the poster to see the events. Names are repeated, dates are connected by small thin arrows, there is no order to follow.

This poster would have been a success if the designer had found a way to do the SCI-ARC letters in a way that you could actually use them to see the events and not use the boring conventional part at the bottom. (For instance, each letter could have had a different month's events. If there weren't enough events, make the text large to the point you clip a bit of them off.)

Needs More Work.

i totally agree with scarface above. you have to ask the question if the poster is meant to be used to actually find out when the damn lectures are or if it's just a piece of art.

as art, i think it's cool, and of course, i am behind the concept of random bits creating a macro whole that is meaningful. i wish they had come up with some system to connect the macro to the micro, though. having to put a tiny list of info at the bottom of the poster confirms the fact that there is a problem here.

please...

Its a giant advertisement for SCI-Arc not the visiting lecturers.
Not sure exactly how i fell about it. Its more interesting than some of the other posters on the list but doesn't really make the information easily understandable.
