PHYSICAL EXPERIMENTATION

Bending, layering and shredding
type on paper. Seeking a single
solution for 3 poets.

DIGITAL IDEATIONS

Utilizing the poets writings, passing
through and exiting the poets name, I communicatehow they use their art to
reach others, each at their own frequency.

DIGITAL ITERATIONS

Pushing the concept forward, bringing new ideas forward.

FINAL POSTER SERIES

The type weaving works together with the
symbola that were introduced, to push the concept.

The mouth, for charmaines percussive use of it.
The flower, for JJJJJerome’s inspiration from nature.
The peace sign for Patti’s iconic Anti-
Vietnam War efforts. . Each symbol has had an effect
on the composition, just has all three of them
impact the world around them.

Angular lines provide support to the composition,
not just by delivering the eye around
the composition, but continuing to add to
the narrative the elements around it have created.
The lines, the connections that are created
through their work, the connections
that hold the entire composition, and
fight together.
