clientShema CommunitydetailsThis poster and its accompanying materials were used to publicize a series focusing on hidden messages in Jesus’ teachings. Combining obscured film images of Christ with a custom-designed font lends an air of secrecy and intrigue suggested by the subject matter. 
- These projected backdrops continue the poster’s conceit of using cropped film stills to allude to the subject matter in abstract ways.
- The typeface uses minimal geometric forms to imply each letter of the alphabet, trusting the viewer’s eye to complete the puzzle.
