Design works

Poster drafts

2018 (month unknown), Adobe Illustrator CC. Back then, I was obsessed with late ’90s/early ’00s design à la The Designers Republic—chiefly, the microscopic typographic/diagrammatic details tucked away in the corners of their works. I liked to call these details “greeble”—a prop design term for meaningless small details added to enhance the illusion of scale.

I started these posters by greebling around the corners to “frame” something in the middle—but I never got to making the middle parts. Open these in a new tab and zoom in real close…

If you want to see FINISHED posters of mine in this style, see Portfolio Day #9 and Etobicoke Fashion Show 2019.
