SDSU OPEN STUDIOS 18x24 POSTER
Design Studio — Spring 2025
I focused on the definition of the word creation as the center of this poster for the 2025 SDSU Open Studios event, since it’s something all the art practices that were being showcased have in common.
process
Since creation is the very basis of what artists do, I decided to use that as the foundation for my concept. I incorporated the tools from different practices such as woodworking, jewelry and metalsmithing, ceramics, and painting, and used two different treatments of the imagery to mimic the layering in the title.
font + color system
I layered three different typefaces for the title to give it a textured and organic feel, choosing fonts that felt more rough and handmade.
I chose shades of beige and blue to create contrast, and that was the color palette that felt the most like the studio space itself and hands-on crafting to me.
