A Year in Posters

Graphic Design (2023-2025)
Project Overview
At the beginning of 2023 I found myself not being as creative in my passion projects as I would like to be. This was mostly caused by having a busy school schedule, where I already had to constantly be creative and put out work. I decided to take small steps to do more graphic design for myself, by making a single poster every month, which concludes each month from my perspective. Small guidelines like always including a picture I took that month and adding illustrations are guides I set for myself in order to have some structure, but still be very free in what I wanted to create that month.
For the future
I honestly loved doing the first years of this project and seeing myself and my style develop over time, and would absolutely continue this project over the coming years (which I'm still in the middle of!). I've learned that I don't always have to have a plan when creating something new, and that I can take inspiration simply from the things surrounding me in the moment. Stay tuned for more posters in 2025!

2025

For this year I will be broadening my guidelines and creating posters that align with my personal style and interests. The past two years I was able to experiment with my style by creating 24 posters, which made me pick and choose my favorites. Starting this year, I will be focusing less on creating something different and original each month, and more on how to implement each month's vibe into the poster while maintaining my own style.

2024

I'm honestly quite surprised with myself for completing this year in posters. I haven't felt very motivated because I severely felt the need to "improve" this year's collection compared to 2023. This makes me think I need to change my approach for 2025, where I don't want to restrain myself to these specific guidelines I set for myself in 2023. Although these guidelines were very simple and broad, there were often still elements I would rather not incorporate into the posters.

2023

Starting this project has been a blast for me, and has really opened up new ways to experiment with graphic design. I have noticed it's gotten harder each month to create something new and original, which I suppose will also be a challenge for the coming years.
