We have been circling ourselves with people who have a certain preset of how a person’s body should look like, rather than accepting we’ve always had ourselves drawn to such demeaning and unloving behavioural patterns. Every day there is someone who reminds us that there is a stereotype of what a perfect body is, though all bodies are good bodies as they function equally nicely. We criticise others and ourselves because we’ve started believing that we don’t fit the standards of beauty designed by society. The brief for this project was to take a relevant topic and design a series of posters with the help of some visual constraints and guidelines. It was challenging at first to decide but then I thought of pushing my limits and I set the following design rules for my final outcome.
- Maintaining a monotone theme throughout.
- Using daily life instances where one feels demotivated or unworthy.
- Using strong hand-rendered illustrations rather than stock images to make it look authentic and powerful.
- Combining the elements with typography which give a background about the poster
- Using textures inspired by our bodies for eg. hair, skin etc.
