Branding poster

I created this poster for as a part of WSU-SOM branding. I was inspired by the upcoming sesquicentennial in regards to its design and used that as my approach to a unique design and typography. I have always been a a fan of the turn of the century lettering and cartyography while using my interest in the art noveau and De Stjil movements.

Visual expression

My approach to the layout was analytical, its important to research and understand the visual vocabulary when creating a design. Using the WSU-SOM official university typeface, Stone Serif, I began to stylize the letterforms and paid close attention to detail to achieve a rich aesthetic work of art.
