The objective of this project was to create three posters that represent the work of three artists. Each poster represents the work of Patti Smith, JJJJJerome Ellis, and Charmaine Lee using the prompt of "Unbound Echoes: Exploring Poetic Soundscapes." This meant that their poetry is to be interpreted through imagery, color harmony, and typography.
About the Artists
Workshop
During the workshop I manipulated different letterforms using different objects, scanned images, and camera angles. This skewed the words to create original work to later use for the posters.
Sketches
Iterations
Final Posters
In order to correctly connect Patti Smith, JJJJJerome Ellis, and Charmaine Lee to their background I used repetition and bold colors. Layering multiple scanned images assisted in creating varying textures and cohesive imagery throughout all three posters. This connects to each artist's unconventional, disruptive, and imperfect way of performing.
