Education 4 All
Mock Exhibit Posters
One of my favorite projects, the “Education 4 All” posters were created for a mock exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. In my mind, the mock exhibit would be a sculpture viewing of projects submitted by various educational institutions from across the country, from pre-schools to post-secondary.
The reason I developed this project was a simple one: I believe that education is a right, and education for all is a philosophy that I live by. In my personal and professional life I have taken many opportunities to learn, educate, and facilitate education.
Behind the Design
For this series, I chose three characteristics that would remain consistent across each of the posters. The headline, the colors, and the inclusion of a raised fist holding a pencil, symbolizing the fight for education for all.
The Colors
Before starting the project, I knew the palette should include primary colors as well as secondary colors. This simple palette was integral to the design: it was modeled after the early learning childhood toys of my own experience, a connection that also formed the headline of the series.
The Headline
Hand illustrated and inspired by the classic children’s bead maze toy, the headline was the next piece of the composition to be solidified. It features planets and stars as the beads, and is coupled with brush strokes to juxtapose the pencil used in the illustration below. After hand drawing, it was digitized in Adobe Illustrator.
Education for all Iconography
The raised fist holding a pencil is meant to symbolize the fight for education for all. This asset was the largest of the composition because it held a lot of significance in being an easily recognizable symbol of solidarity.
