My poster draft
For my poster, I was also playing with the black and white spaces and still figuring out which one I should be choosing to finalise. The idea of my poster is to show the progress of myself finding my identity and purpose to be in New Zealand, the bunch of birds represent the idea of …
Playing around with the black and white contrast of my cover/ poster
