My submission for Cancer Research UK's Comic Sans for Cancer Exhibition.
Comic Sans is celebrating its' 20th anniversary this year - and during that time, has been the subject of an unusual amount of controversy. The brief is to create an A2 poster that shows how you feel about Comic Sans, the best posters will be printed and sold, with the proceeds going to Cancer Research UK.
Although I don't personally hate Comic Sans (it's just a typeface, not the root of all evil), it is not a font I would use under any other cicomstances (it's overused and so recognisable that I think it ends up being distracting).
Helvetica Nueue is almost the polar opposite - it has very little personality, is beautifull in it's simplicity, but I feel equally over used, therefore I thought it was the perfect font to start with.
The background is meant as a reminder that nothing is ever black and white, there are always shades of gray.
