(1997) Design of Understanding 2

Description

The audience was New York’s design community; the purpose, to attract their attention to yet another series of lectures. Consequently, the design had the potential of being visually sophisticated as well as offering me the possibility of furthering an interest I’ve had in non-rectangular posters, as well as the opportunity to deal with the nature of illusion. Under the right conditions, this poster looks like it is building right out of the wall it’s placed upon.
