Over the years working as graphic designer and artist, I've learned to tune into my instincts when selecting a project. When presented with the list of haikus to select from, I connected with the visuals of the poem written by Joan Dear-Houseman most vividly. The violets of the lavender appeared almost immediately as well as the thought of Lockwood Lavender Farm in Skaneateles, NY. I also believe that typography shouldn't be ignored when creating a poster and is essential when considering the visual hierarchy of a design. My focus for this poster is to draw the audience in equally by the haiku as well as the illustration.
