This poster was created with the Weltformat 11 Plakat Festival in mind, an international student poster competition rooted in Germany. In 2011, the theme of the competition was "Poster for the Poster".

This print publication features the author Sean Labrador Y Manzano’s article called Elysium: Where are we when the wild things are?. I created this publication with hand-drawn illustrations to reflect the narrative and emotions experienced in the article. The content the author expressess are evocative, layered thoughts that taps in to the psychology of his emotions and characteristics. This inspired the art direction of this publication to be adaptations of the rorschach inkblot cards.The feature pages of reflective thoughts are printed on vellum and illustrations are created with watercolours and ink.

We had to re-imagine an existing magazine, book, website, etc. and change its visual language and/or medium for a typography class with Peter Cocking. I chose BOP Magazine, a trashy teenie bopper magazine which has misguided advice on how to talk to your crush as well as boring gossip about tween stars I've never even heard of. It was fun.
