The Task
The task was to design a series of posters and postcards, for the London Design Biennale advertising “Emotional States”. Using a minimal approach, I chose 5 emotions to create posters for and turned 4 into postcards. The designs use colour and scenery to convey emotion in its simplest form.

Challenges
One of the most difficult challenges of this task was attempting to show a feeling of emotion using only minimal aspects. On top of this, many people have different reasons for feeling emotion which made it hard for me to choose a scenario that reflected the emotion successfully.
