Use experimental typography to create a poster series showcasing the unique perspectives and talents of three poets, Gwendolyn Brooks, Javier Zamora, and Monica Youn to persuade viewers to attend an event showcasing their work.
Research
Used the work and unique background of each poet to create a concept that connected the poets under the theme "lines of equality: exploring poetic paths to justice."
Each poster centers around the theme "alone in unbelonging" to showcase the unique isolation experienced by each poet as a result of injustice.
These experiences heavily influenced each poets work and motivated them to give a voice to the unseen.
Sketches And Experimentation
Used lines from the poet's work and keywords representing their individual experiences with isolation caused by injustice to create experimental compositions.
Digital Iteration
Experimented with different methods of manipulating the text and color pallet of each poster to best convey the purpose of the series.
