Did you Know?


This is a series of posters titled, Did you know? containing interesting facts about Buddhism or BLIA or YAD. The idea was initiated by the fact that the dining hall has Chinese calligraphy paintings on the walls and many of the participants cannot read Chinese, so we were to make an English replacement for the walls that would be equally interesting for them to read.

The difficulty here was finding a font that would be appropriate and easy to read. The poster is placed fairly high up and the text varies in length.

In the end, due to the fact that the English language takes up 2x the space that Chinese characters do, we doubled the width of the posters and added some colour to make it look less serious and more fun.
