Since
Spring 2000, Johnson has taken us on a visually orgasmic
ride with his graphical creations. As the head of publicity
at the Iota Chapter at the University of Rochester, Chron-OS
is responsible for pumping out 4 amazing fliers in just
2 semesters, not to mention 2 releases of the Iota Chapter
website.
Johnson's fliers are noted for two very important components
of a successful flier. 1) To promote the event. Too many
designers out there are over-engulfed in their work that
they forget what the purpose of the flier is for. Often
it is impossible to find the date or location of an event
on a flier being it's so obscured by other design items
on the canvas. Johnson builds his fliers with this aspect
in mind. All promotional details of the event are clearly
indicated in a structural manner. 2) To be aesthetically
pleasing. The art of catching a patron's eyes is another
important aspect. A florescent yellow sheet of paper can
catch a person's eyes but it's not very appealing. Johnson's
designs offer incredible eye-boggling images, leaving
one drooling over a flier for hours (ok maybe not hours).
Take his most recent flier (shown on left); by applying
textures and a specular component to the yin yang ball
shown, the viewer's eyes are immediately directed towards
the center of the flier, while all the important details
are cleary indicated at the top.
