A typo/graphic poster, produced as part of a set of four posters designed using the Bauhaus-inspired typeface Side A. A Bauhaus-inspired typeface with experimental and spiky forms that comes in three various sizes, Side A was inspired by the pulsating beats of electronic music, and its spiky, darting shapes themselves become a visual manifesto. Poster No. 4 features Walter Gropius's 1919 “Manifesto” of the Bauhaus in descending type sizes: “ The ultimate goal of all pictorial activity is the construction! To decorate it was once the chief task of the visual arts, they were indispensable components of great architecture. Today they stand in self-sufficient capacity, from which they can be redeemed only by conscious co-operation and interaction between all the workers.
