Design Hero: Poster
(Adobe InDesign)
Our first step in this project was creating a poster for our hero with required components, our hero’s name, at least one portrait of your hero, images of your hero’s work, informational text, a quotation by or about your hero, and a timeline of prominent works or their life as a whole. With all this in mind we started by moodboarding to gather images and help with the visualization of concepts. We then moved into some sketch ideas and started heavily iterating and over the course of a couple weeks we narrowed down until we had a final concept that was refined into a final product. My timeline took shape in this sort of index system, numbering zoomed-in images of projects over the course of her career. The zoom in was intentional as a way to kind of obscure all of her works so its a surprise when it appears in full as a part of the booklet.
Some fun details, I created a logo of sorts through the SS’s in her name that carried as a motif throughout my project along with the circles in the i’s. I also had the quote leap off the page reminicient of the actual last word in the quote.
Below is the final product along with some preliminary sketches and concepts.
My medium post, linked below, details my entire process, the changes and updates made through consistent critique and feedback, including all preliminary iterations before the finalized poster.
