50 Poster Iterations

For this project, I selected an iconic, historical poster that I felt intrigued by. Starting from there, I was challenged to reimagine it in 50 different ways, based on its forms, shapes and colors. I chose a poster for Japan Day @ Central Park 2012, an annual event celebrating the connection between New Yorkers and the local Japanese community. The poster commemorated the 100th anniversary of Japan’s gift of cherry trees to the United States.

Its simplicity and symbolic representation inspired my iterative exploration, allowing me to reimagine its design elements in diverse and creative ways. Throughout this process, I learned to experiment, deconstruct, and reconstruct various forms in innovative ways. I began thinking outside the box, exploring the full potential of graphic elements across different visual languages. After the challenge, the 50 posters were organized in three different categories:

Abstractions

Patterns

Forms

The 50 iterations were designed to be displayed in an archive of our choice. I opted for a digital archive to enhance accessibility and interactivity.
