Arthur Flowers Poster Project

With an excerpt taken from “Another Good Loving Blues” by Arthur Flowers the purpose was to find one that I found particularly meaningful or interesting. Once chosen, the task was to figure out a way to communicate the selection in a typographic way in the form of a mounted poster measuring 30 by 40 inches. The poster could only use self-created imagery. This project for me represented a way to make a certain aspect of the story come to life.

“It was early one morning in the Sweetwater Woods. They were out gathering herbs, specifically Life Everlasting. She always gathered in morning, said morning was best for the earth’s medicine. ‘The earth is stronger then.’ Hoodoo talk.”
