A poster is a temporary promotion of an idea, product or event put up in a public space for mass consumption. Typically, posters include both textual and graphic elements, although a poster may be either wholly graphical or wholly text. In this work I show you some examples of the fictional designs I have made as a part of my study projects, creating a series of posters by exploring graphic design materials, processes, and techniques to help me find surprising solutions to creative projects. This work reflect the way that mid century graphic design has influenced me, and the way that I use self experimental projects to generate ideas and develop as a graphic designer. These posters set use an arrangement of repeating geometric forms to represent the relationships and dynamics articulated in the title, thinking conceptually, creating simple visual solutions to communicate complex ideas. This is an experimental project and could be the first of several others with the same visual proposal.
