(Note: This idea comes to mind without shelter in place / quarantine orders) My name is Dylan Ly and I am trying to sell the idea of spending more time outdoors with the value of universalism. The last couple years I started to make an effort to spend more time outdoors and I experienced the benefits it reaps from widening my perspective to clearing my head. With my poster, I am trying to portray that inside can sometimes become grey and mundane and an entirely different world outside is just waiting to be experienced. “Outside” is thus just spending time in a mundane waiting room while there is a bright world outside waiting to be experienced.

I tried choosing color schemes that contrast to emphasize the vibrance of outside. The color for the text was trying to be consistent with the yellow accents throughout the poster. The typography was something difficult to choose but I settled on one that was blocky and seemed assertive. The colors of the “Outside” person were chosen to be similar to the colors of actual outside.
