Poster Series

Three typographic Hope posters by Riya Kumari, moving from darkness to light

A set of Posters I designed with the prompt "Hope and Typography"

My theme for this project is 'Mental Health' and I've tried to portray the theme in an abstract way using values, textures, and contrast and their progression through the series.

Disclaimer

Mental Health Illnesses are serious conditions and should be treated professionally. These are promotional posters meant to create awareness and are in no way intended to be used as advice, medically/professionally or in any other way whatsoever.

The contents of the posters are meant to be taken positively. I'm still in the process of learning and sensitising myself towards mental health issues. If you find any content of this project that comes out in a negative or hurtful way, it was never intended to be so and I apologise in advance and request you to bring to my notice any such mistakes.

The series transitions from being almost completely dark to light slowly bleeding in, and "Hope" becomes more prominent with each poster, a visual depiction of 'healing' through time.
