    The seventeenth way…

    The seventeenth way to create Neo-poster images is achieved by using letters that give the impression of melting, as if exposed to heat. This process creates a slight sense of disorientation: the more the letters melt, the slower the decoding becomes, making reading more difficult and the words appear more pictorial. The order shifts from…

    A formal pictorial versus formal orden

    Neo-posterism seeks to show how letters (a formal order) can be integrated into the image (a pictorial order). This endeavor arose from my question: Why is it that, when letters are placed in an image, they always capture the viewer’s attention so powerfully?

    The sixteenth way to create Neo-poster images is achieved by playing with the size of each letter—sometimes large, sometimes very small, and sometimes normal-sized. This process creates a slight sense of confusion: the greater the variability in size, the longer the decoding time, which slows down reading and, in a way, makes the words seem…

    The fifteenth way to create Neo-poster images is achieved by playing with the interline spacing, sometimes very close together and other times very far apart. This process creates a slight sense of confusion: the greater the variability in spacing, the longer the decoding takes, which slows down reading and, in a way, makes the words…

    The fourteenth way to create Neo-poster images involves repeatedly changing the background color &/or the lettering color. This process creates a slight sense of confusion; the greater the color variability, the longer the decoding takes, slowing down the reading process and, in a way, making the letters appear more painterly.

    The thirteenth way for creating Neo-poster images involves applying pressure and spreading paint over the letters. This process first creates the letters (formal order) and then, through color blending (pictorial order), unites the words, creating a fusion between the letters and their colors. This blending of orders creates the letters, at least in part, as…

    The twelfth way…

    The twelfth way to create Neo-poster images involves placing the words with their shadows, but not in the traditional way where the shadow begins after the image. Instead, it creates a blend between the letters and their shadows. Naturally, this effect can be combined with others, such as illuminating the word with varying intensities. This…

    The eleventh way to create Neo-poster images is to cut out, repeat, and paint in different colors a group of letters that form a word; this incompleteness and variability in color (lack of uniformity) makes decoding difficult, bringing the word closer to the image. This explains why reading the word “Love” is slower than usual.

    A tenth way…

    A tenth way to create Neo-poster images is to use overlapping numbers or letters, so that more numbers or letters can be read than if they were separated (For example, in the image, with a little imagination, you can see all the digits) this fusion or mix takes the prominence away from the letter or…

    A ninth way…

    A ninth way to create Neo-poster images is to use words or phrases that fill almost the entire poster and only at the margin can you see that they are letters, this makes them blend in with the background and takes away the prominence of the letter.
