Poster

This poster was designed for my Advanced Typography and Layout class to promote the Banned Books Week of 2021. For this project, my goal was to create a design that would immediately draw the viewer's attention to the themes of censorship and intellectual freedom.

With that in mind, I approached the design by using typography as a visual element rather than treating it only as text. To achieve this, I arranged the type to form the shape of a mockingbird, referencing the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, which was on the Banned Books list, allowing the type figure to become the focal point of the artwork. As a result, the final design encourages viewers to pause, look more closely, and engage with the message.
