My latest project for my Typography class. A Victorian style pseudo-political poster (someone currently in politics like Obama or Cheney, someone who was once in politics like Kennedy or Napoleon, or someone who was involved in politicalish struggles, even if they weren’t involved in GOVERNMENT specifically)

because I lurv him. He was a supergenius and also a humanitarian. Both good things. 
Anyway, Victorian posters were made early in the days of heavy use of the printing press, and also during the time when heavy advertising was just becoming necessary. So, where as, in this day and age we learn to limit the type-faces that we use and not make a composition too busy, in the Victorian poster era they would try to get as much eye-catching imagery and as many decorative, pretty type-faces as they could squished into the given space in all different contrasting sizes and patterns:
…now I feel that my poster isn’t QUITE busy enough….ah well.
