Raw Poster Collection

Advised by Ellen Lupton and Allan Yu

Solving problems often necessitates a deconstruction of your ideas. You need time to abstract what you mean to explore — to trim away the fat and arrive at the gem of an idea. This process reveals a simple truth: the best solutions come from places of simple intuition and gut feeling.

This weekend workshop with Allan Yu was a gauntlet of timed, five-to-ten-minute image-making for over five hours straight, two days in a row. The method compelled inspiration from every fiber of being — a space where design rules were meant to be both tested and broken. Through it, I rediscovered a forgotten love for raw aesthetic and chasing happy accidents. These posters are some of my favorites from a massive collection that conveys an abstract sense of what my visual instinct looks like.
