Flies

University Set Project

2018

​

We were tasked to create a monochromatic poster about a poem of our choice, using typography in an experimental manner. The poster I designed was about “Flies”, a poem by Alice Oswald, which talks about the feeling of being trapped in the past. The flies represent us, humans, buzzing behind a closed window, which is the only thing that keeps us from reminiscing our past experiences. I tried to represent this unsettling feeling typographically, drawing inspiration from the various words throughout the text indicating movement.
