A shared experience
Dawson College’s Graphic Design Vernissage is a final moment to show all our hard work throughout the three years. It is an event that closes one chapter for all the graduates while opening the doors to many future possibilities.
To create a poster for the end-of-the-year Dawson College Graphic Design Vernissage for the 2023 Graduates. The poster needs to be something that screams graphic design, is eye-catching and can be transformed into an event with other applications.
I wanted to create something that captures both the reason for the event as well as, represented our experience throughout the program.
The project began with a lot of brainstorming and sketching trying to find something that would connect the two ends of the goal of the poster. As I was sketching I was very inclined by the idea of using something recognizable like a symbol. During my brainstorming process, I wrote the word "share" down; this ultimately led me to the well-known share symbol. Funny enough, this turned into the whole concept of the poster.
The project was very exciting because there was a lot of personal feeling of being very hands-on with the work. As well, for this project, it was important to step away from the computer to be able to create a very connected design. This way of looking at a project was interesting to me and has helped me in the ways I have explored other projects.
