Abstract
The work I’ve created consists of expressive poster design and abstract visual communication for musical and cultural events. My practice focuses on abstraction as a method for translating emotion, rhythm, and atmosphere into visual form. I explore how posters can be both promotional tools and hold a historic and cultural record. Through my work, I use typography, illustration, composition, and color contrast to explore how graphic design visually communicates emotion and experience. These principles can communicate energy and movement without relying on representational imagery. I use abstraction and typographic hierarchy to suggest rhythm and mood. My audience is the general public interested in cultural events, music communities, and visual communication. During the symposium, I will be exhibiting a poster series, including an identity design for a jazz music event. This project examines how graphic design can visually interpret musical rhythm and cultural presence. Through this work, I developed skills in typographic structure, branding systems, abstraction, and visual consistency across multiple applications. The exhibition will present large-scale printed posters alongside supporting identity materials to create a cohesive visual environment. Viewers will be able to experience how expressive graphic design can translate sound and atmosphere into visual language. This body of work reflects my growth from exploratory experimentation toward intentional poster and identity design. Ultimately, my goal as a graphic designer is to create visual systems that communicate culture, emotion, and experience with clarity and expressive strength.
