Clare Lyster’s border patrol building is the 2009 image for IIT’s lecture series poster. We received the image a week after the U.S. government announced it would be removing Pentagram’s sign for security reasons (read an interview about the sign here).
Rick Valicenti and Bud Rodecker created a dialog between the typography in the image and the poster’s information. The design process was layered with an awareness of Chicago vernacular signage where everywhere you look sans serif type is stacked on top of more of the same.
