This project centered on the intentional manipulation and arrangement of typography and image to convey messages through a poster series. I was tasked with designing three posters that advertised the poetry reading "Elusive Echoes" featuring the work of Charmaine Lee, JJJerome Ellis, and Patti Smith, three poets who fuse music and the written word.
