  • Jessica Mallalieu
The Language of Flowers in an exploration into the hidden meanings behind popular flowers based on Victorian history. Each flower has a corresponding meaning from love to despair, Each flower was illustrated using watercolours and printed onto tracing paper to give the feel of delicate petals. The illustrations are bold and bright, painted in 30 seconds in order to get the basic shapes and colours while keeping it modern and fresh. The poster is accompanied by a book to explain the meanings.
