POSTER 1

THE IDEAS I HAD PULLED OUT FROM THE HAIKU WAS ROSES, FLOWERS, BLOOMING, VALENTINES, THORNS AND VINES. UNDERNEATH ALL THOSE OBJECTS AND THINGS THERE WAS THE UNDERLYING MESSAGE OF HOW LOVE CARRIES HIDDEN THORNS, HOW SOMETHING ELEGANT LIKE A ROSE CAN ALSO CAUSE SOMETHING PAIN AND AGONY.

​

I WANTED TO KEEP MY APPROACH SIMPLE BUT STILL SHOW THE ASPECTS OF THORNS AND VINES ALONG WITH THE IDEA OF GIFTS AND VALENTINES, SO I DESIGNED A  SHAPE WITH TWO AXIS OF ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY, THE RECTANGULAR LINES I DREW WITH THE INTENT TO POTRAY BOTH RIBBONS ON GIFTS AND THE ENTANGLING NATURE OF VINES, THE THORNS OF A ROSE I REPRESENTED THAT THROUGH THE FOUR SIDED STAR IN THE CENTRE WHICH ALSO PLAYS THE ROLE OF A RIBBON BOW TYPICALLY FOUND ON GIFTS AND PRESENTS.
