Flexuous

Fall 2021 / Poster Design

Project Outline

Create a poster to describe the word Flexuous, meaning full of bends and curves. I used various parts of magazine pieces turned into vector pieces and arranged the pieces into a compelling composition. I added a texture to the background that also reflected the bends and curves of the meaning of the word. I made this with the intent of limiting the color palette, using mostly black and white with a pop of pink as the color palette. While including the word was not necessary, I felt that using it with a curvy typeface would visually connect the word and meaning.

Pick a word (from a list provided) and visually communicate that word through form, shape,
color, and various Graphic Design principles (ie: rhythm, balance, scale, texture, etc.). Find 2″x2″ crops of images that are fitting for the word through various magazines and translate them into a 16″x20″ poster.
