Poster with a gruesome cartoon head bursting apart above a black ‘Graphic Content’ title bar

GRAPHIC CONTENT 2014

Posters for the annual exhibition of the work of the Graphic Design students. A collaboration with Scott Durand. We were given free rein on this to name and conceptualize the theme of the exhibition. My work was largely focused on the custom type around the border (which was drawn as one continuous line), the design of the smaller posters, and the coloring of the illustration, which was drawn beautifully by Scott. The main poster is 44" x 60".
