Fantasma: International Research Exhibition Poster

In this vibrant and captivating poster, I had the privilege to bring the essence of the International Research Exhibition at Florida SouthWestern State College to life through a fusion of artistry and design.

The concept behind this poster was to transcend conventional boundaries and create an otherworldly experience that embodies the spirit of research, innovation, and imagination. To achieve this, I delved into the realm of abstract artistry, employing gradients of dark pinks, purples, and blues as my palette.

The focal point of the poster is an assembly of ethereal, 3D blobs. These seemingly abstract forms, with their fluid and surreal contours, seamlessly meld together to create enigmatic and fantastical creatures. Each blob represents the boundless possibilities that emerge when research and creativity converge.

The choice of dark pinks, purples, and blues was intentional. These deep and mesmerizing gradients were selected to evoke a sense of curiosity, wonder, and depth. They symbolize the profound exploration that takes place within the world of research, where we delve into the unknown and illuminate it with the brilliance of knowledge.

The abstract placement of these 3D blobs across the poster was a conscious design decision. Their freeform arrangement signifies the unpredictable nature of discovery and the unexpected connections that can be forged through research. Just as these blobs organically coalesce to form fantastical creatures, research often reveals unanticipated links and revelations.

As a graphic designer, I aimed to transcend traditional design paradigms by crafting a poster that invites viewers to step into a world of limitless imagination and intellectual exploration. The poster's abstract, dreamlike quality serves as a metaphor for the uncharted territories that await researchers, encouraging them to venture beyond their comfort zones and into the realm of possibility.

The International Research Exhibition was a way for me to create a poster to show a testament to the power of design to ignite curiosity, spark innovation, and convey the essence of an event dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. It is a visual representation of the limitless potential that resides within each researcher and the transformative impact their work can have on our understanding of the world.

Through this poster, I aimed to inspire and captivate both participants and attendees, fostering an atmosphere of curiosity and excitement surrounding the exhibition. It is a celebration of the boundless creativity and intellectual curiosity that thrives at Florida SouthWestern State College.
