The following is a 25" x 36" poster created for Anther Kiley's Poster Design Class. The poster had to advertise the work from the poster design course that would be showcased at the end of the semester in the graphic design gallery at RISD, while also being a poster about posters.
How do you make a poster about a poster? After being inspired by Susan Sontag's article "Posters: Advertisement, Art, Political Artifact, Commodity" I wanted to build off the concept that a poster is a result of everything going on in a particular moment. I decided to take all different elements of how posters are created, whether it be from a camera itself, inspiration from old poster designers, to current trends, and wove them all into a new poster. To show current trends and advertise the gallery, I used two of my classmates' posters that were created during the poster design class.
