Shine Bright Like A Diamond

The municipal art museum in Reutlingen has an impressive selection of color woodcuts, they call them a collection as beautiful as diamonds, cause the bright colours and striking shapes shine mounted on the wall being illuminated by light. This lead to an effective typographic poster embedded into a glass-like structure simply made of gradients between blue and white. The overlapping colours and high-contrast edges appear like those you see when you look though a diamond. Being part of a flexible identity system and due to its simple ingredients the poster was easily adapted to various formats and sizes.
