Denmark Poster Series
Role: Typography, Illustration, Layout
This series of posters was inspired by classic pieces of Danish design, as well as one fantastic Dutch contemporary art museum.
In Copenhagen, and on a trip to the Netherlands, I immersed myself in the world of Danish and Dutch design and created three posters inspired by what I saw.
Experiencing Joana Vasconcelos’ exhibition, visiting the Kunsthal museum, and interacting with Fritz Hansen’s designs allowed me to familiarize myself with the subjects of this series and translate them honestly into an eye-catching poster series.
The first poster pays tribute to the architecture of the Kunsthal museum in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The building, designed by legendary Dutch architect, Rem Koolhaas, houses an ever-changing set of provocative contemporary art. To honor its heritage and call out its signature orange beam, the poster features blueprint-style illustrations with pops of orange.
The second poster was inspired by the work of Danish designer Arne Jacobsen. The unique silhouettes of his iconic chairs form the main graphic. An invitation to a conceptual celebration of his work is situated within the vast negative space.
The third poster is a conceptual advertisement for artist Joana Vasconcelo’s feminist-minded exhibition on display at the Kunsthal. Various representations of “reflection” are implemented throughout the design, set on top of a subtle tampon-patterned background.
