Bowers Museum Event Poster

Objective: For this class assignment, design a poster for the Buddhist Painting exhibition by Shashi Dhoj Tulachan at the Bowers Museum, using a pattern technique inspired by Marian Bantjes to form the letterforms.

Role: I built the pattern by zooming into the clouds and fire in one of Tulachan's paintings, tracing shapes into a repeatable design, and based the poster's composition and colors directly on the painting itself.

Tools: Illustrator, InDesign
