Knitty City Poster
College Project
Project: Create an illustration with a strong typographical theme/focus for the advertising and promoting “Men’s Night Thursday at Knitty City” subway poster. The project also included using a historical art reference of our choice
Objective: To create a visually appealing design advertising to men to join “Men’s Night at Knitty City” and to relate the design to an art history movement
Overall Visual: Informative, Art Reference, Exciting, and Attention-grabbing
My Design: For this project, I wanted to expand on the art movement Art Nouveau, as most pieces were designed for men’s gaze to sell products that posters were advertising. I was heavily inspired by Alphonse Mucha, to whom I created my Knitty City Poste,r referencing his art style. My typography was made using yarn string to relate to the company’s focus.
