ANCT

André Baldinger

Promotional poster for the ANCT. A work based on research into rhythm and proportion, particularly the Golden Section and Fibonacci. The principal grid system of this poster is based on the reccurent series of the Italian mathematician Fibonacci* (1:1:2:3:5:8...) and is evolutionary. The proportion 1:1 serves as the basis for the calculatin of new ratios, which determines the following proportions according to the continuing additions (1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5 etc.).
