The assignment was to create a poster to raise awareness for UN Day 2024 and a seminar on the global goals. I was tasked with focusing on Goal 5: Quality Education. The aim was to attract people to a planned conference in Stockholm by creating a poster that communicates a sense of joy and approachability. The poster's design was based on the Pop Art style.

My design process had a number of mandatory constraints that I had to adhere to. I was required to choose a specific style (Pop Art) and include a predetermined text with all the necessary information for the event.

Design Principles

My goal was to create a poster that would practically jump off the wall and grab your attention. To do that, I needed a strong voice. I chose the comic book font Bangers to connect directly with the Pop Art style, giving the poster a playful yet powerful personality. I made sure to vary font sizes and adjust the tracking to guide the eye and ensure you knew exactly what to focus on.

The background isn't just a collection of shapes—it's an explosion of joy! I used vibrant pink and yellow geometric forms to create a feeling of energy. Black text became my secret weapon, a calming contrast that made everything readable without losing the fun vibe. I strategically placed every element to achieve an asymmetrical balance that makes the composition dynamic and alive.

Reflection & Lessons Learned

This project was a major eye-opener. I went into it thinking I had everything figured out, but a bit of honest feedback showed me how easy it is to become blind to your own work. It was in that "aha!" moment that the design truly came to life. I learned to let go of my initial assumptions and let the process guide me.

This experience has shown me that design isn't just about what you create; it's about how you grow. I'm leaving this project with a much stronger sense of confidence in the design programs and, more importantly, in my ability to think on my feet. I'm ready to keep exploring the world of typography and graphic design, knowing that my ability to adapt and take initiative will be my greatest asset.
