The poster for Face the Surface, the title of an art exhibtion, was designed in a single color; the paper was turned 180 degrees on press and overprinted, yielding a second, third and fourth color. The design is also reinforced by the poster’s folds (22x17" sheet, folding into quarters as a 8.5x11" self mailer).

The concept of ‘facing a surface’ is further echoed through the headline type treatment’s mirror effect, whereby the word ‘face’ is shared with ‘surface.’
