These design goals and objectives were fairly simple in concept and more difficult in execution. Visual imagery had to come from creative collaboration during class.

This project was intended to convey messages of harmony and peace to a troubled country, specifically Nigeria. The peace poster directly draws inspiration from traditional tie-dye clothing.

The concept of the harmony poster draws inspiration from the trees of the region.
