Type 1

Structure and Perfection

For Type 1, posters are selected that show a strict order and meticulous alignment of elements. This is evident in compositions with symmetry or built on a modular grid. All elements are always vertically or horizontally aligned with each other. Repeating elements and patterns bring an additional systematic and organised feel.

This approach to composition corresponds to Type 1’s inner need for everything to be structured and perfect. The disorderliness of the world around him causes him inner tension, so he strives for its constant improvement. Scrupulously structured compositions help to get closer to the cherished ideal of order. Type 1 is characterised by a high sense of responsibility, principle and the desire to do things well. This is why it is so important to ensure that everything is meticulously measured and aligned when creating a composition.
