Design Culture Now Poster

designculturenow

This was a fairly challenging project for me, because not only was it the first time I had ever made a poster for a design course, but I had to draw attention to the content through words, not images, as I was previously accustomed to in my illustrative background. The poster’s topic was a fictional design showcase and seminar event, which presented the need for short bios for each artist, (big text, small text, and it all had to flow together.) In the end, I’m not sure I scored big with this one, as though I enjoyed the high-contrast aesthetic, I was informed it was rather garish, and since then I have come to agree that the color choices get in the way.
