Light Years

Light years was a poster designed by Michael Bierut for the Beaux Art Ball in 1999, using evenly spaced Translucent letters. The most interesting thing about the design are the white shapes that are made by the two translucent words overlapping each other creating visual interest while also having the words still be legible. I almost feel as though "Light" was being represented with the white areas created by the overlapping effect and the "years" was being represented by the fading look of the words.
