Design #1:

Ramune Poster

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1055599907288635/

Description: This poster caught my attention because of the minimalistic colour choices and the flowy, no sharp edges style of illustration.

This Poster expressed: 
This poster is for a japanese soft drink “Ramune”.
The concept is throwback/retro style.
Ben Day dots are used subtly with the colour scheme to match the concept.
There is a fluid, smooth feel expressed with the waves in the background and lack of corners, as the poster is about a drink.

Design #2:

Digital Love Poster

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/30047522508132929/

Description: This poster stood out to me because of the 3D elements and varying font styles.

This poster expressed: 
The poster is a mock up for a promotional poster for valentines day.
The theme is “digital valentines day”.
The concept is soft love and presents.
The most important element in this poster is the 3D effects that are enhanced by glare, gradients and shadows.
It feels like the hearts, presents and post are popping out of the screen.

Design #3:

Saturn poster

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1829656093082865/

Description: This poster piqued my interest because of the typography.

The poster expressed:
This is a simple poster about the planet Saturn.
The theme is Saturn.
And the concept is pink.
The whole poster is made up of different shades of pink that work together cohesively.
The typography creates interesting shapes in the poster, especially the gradually fading “SATURN” in the background.
