Tasked with the creation of two paired posters pertaining to the theme of ‘Dusk’ I began considering what the word meant to me. It seemed the most efficient means of immersing myself in the subject matter was to go for a walk during this time, taking generalised notes in an attempt to capture the essence of dusk. In doing so I was met with the stoic and melancholy nature of this time… a transitory period where the world begins to decompress. I took a few pictures for reference and potential usage when developing a colour scheme at a later stage. The passage of time – a loneliness more prevalent than that of night, this seemed the most compelling lead.

 

Since my wandering had proved fruitful I was met with yet another consideration: how exactly do I capture these feelings? I was grasping at something nebulous and inexplicable so it seemed imperative to begin drafting up ideas that may bring me closer to capturing these feelings in a bell jar. I needed to distill the concept to something digestible and immediately understandable so I came up with three word that would be essential in representing the core themes of my poster which were: solitude, transition and descent.
