Elusive Echoes: A Poster Series

Applying typographic expressions and attributes, and exploring different conceptual ideas through a discourse community. These posters were created with an underlying concept of “Elusive Echoes”, each with various components that differentiate them. A visual system was implemented, as well as learning how to enhance digital media through physical exploration.



ResearchStep OnePatti Smith


Smith is a visionary for the ugly truth of human-rights issues, mainly involving injustices of women through the use of poetry and punk. In her most popular works like rape, seventh heaven, k.o.d.a.k., Easter, and Just Kids, Smith remains unguarded to express her feelings about discrimination in the world. 
Charmaine Lee

Lee is a methodical yet improvisational individual who believes that music should come straight from the heart and soul. She believes that because it is more moving and meaningful that way and there is nothing more connecting of people than music and creation. 
JJJJJerome Ellis

Ellis is an unpredictable force that commands attention in his meaningful and heart-wrenching music, poems, and stories. In that, he often meets his disability with curiosity, lovingness, and patience in juxtaposition to the stigma around stutters and other inequalities that exist in the world. 



FreeplayStep Two
After researching the three poets in the Elusive Echoes prompt, I experimented by printing and scanning keywords from their work. The distorted text evoked censorship, a theme shared by all three artists, while cutting and manipulating the images reflected breaking boundaries and resisting convention.
