Personality Poster

For the design of this poster, I was asked to interview a person who I was not familar with. After asking numerous questions, I was able to form a visual narrative based off of his answers. He claimed he liked things that were handmade, loved the Art Nouveau period, and enjoyed romantic movies. He also stated at times he was quiet and creative and at other times he was outgoing and "crazy". With this information, I was able to come up with a poster that represented him very well. I started looking at photos, and I came across one that stricked me instantly. It was a foggy field with two trees emerging from the fog in the distance. I thought this would be the perfect photo to show his mysterious side. To make the photo more abstract, I copied the tops of the trees and dulplicated them so they emerged from the top of the poster. Texture from an aging book was also added to the photo. He also stated he loved the book Pride and Prejudice. To help show this, I handwrote a quote on top of the poster. The letters are handwritten and have little flourishes gorwing out of them, making them resemble the Art Nouveau movement. Overall, I think I was able to capture his essence on a sheet of paper pretty well.
