To Watch the Moon Move
A poster exploring the concept of “assaulting the surface,” using the physical qualities of print to distort and manipulate the composition. The design emphasizes the tactile nature of the medium and draws strong influence from brutalist design. This technique pairs with the artist’s photography and reflects the exhibition’s mantra of “[breaking] away from rules of set themes.”
