#DES101 #poster

​

This poster was made using pen and sharpie. This poster is the combination of idea of previous prototype of poster 1. In this poster there are repetition of cubes. Rule of third was used diagonally with the centre cube missing in its place is a withered tree made of triangle. Half of the tree is white, and half is black, the white part signify a withered tree and the black part is a signifier of a crow’s wing skeleton; In the lower half the black part in the crow’s claw and the white part is the tree’s root. The poster’s outline is made to look symmetrical to show that both sides are equally important. The poster was made with the theme of equilibrium in mind, I think the distribution of black and white worked well. The lines can be straighter and not broken, this can be fixed by going over the line a few more times. Overall I think that this poster do represent the theme of equilibrium.
