Project 3 Play Poster

To Play or not to Play...

This project was a real challenge for me. I struggled with how to narrow down my ideas. And wrestled with the fact that sometimes lacked the skill to complete my vision. At the same time, it was also fun to see what I could actually create and test my limits.

Throughout this whole process, I have had to move away from my previous design mindset. There were certain things that I had to unlearn to achieve the “playful” aspect of this project.

The thought came to me, that was reinforced from the textbook. “It is so hard designing for yourself, because it never feels like its finished.”

The images above are from our initial exercise, where we had to just play around to create interesting posters.

1,2,3: Images from “play” class exercise. We were tasked with finding random objects to display the word play. I had missed this day and did it on my own, an idea came to me randomly. It is 3 sheets of paper taped together. The letters were cut out of the middle sheet and then I shined a light underneath.
