DESCRIPTION

For this project, each student was tasked with creating a national park poster that uses unconventional methods for designing posters based on national parks. Many national park posters are designed to typically show the landscape of the park, but the challenge was to use unconventional ways to express the national park differently than what is expected.

Creating poster iterations and deciding on how to approach the final design of the national park poster allowed room to explore different ways to represent the national park in a unique way. Whether these iterations involved highlighting particular parts of the park through color, shape, imagery, or typography, each iteration had the expectation of showing different compositions.
