Color Theory Poster
Always trying to find new ways of creating interactive designs in my work, I created a poster using color deletion principles. This poster was the first exploration into my Thesis project, “The ‘L’ Stands for Value” and is meant to be so easy to understand, a 4th grader could pick up the viewer and discover the hidden messaging. The idea behind this poster started with my interest in currency design and how governments use currency as a means of mind control. Words, symbols, and phrases are applied to currency as a means of propagating what it is a country should be valuing in terms of their own culture, history, and society. The money holder has subliminal messaging in their very hands. Taking that idea and putting it into a poster, I looked up the six top values based on the World Value Survey conducted in nearly every country around the world. It was agreed that these six values seen on this poster are the most important values in a person’s life. The provided viewer allows the on-looker to discover what aspect of each value resonates with them. Is it the word of that value that means more than the image or the symbol? Or does the image of that value sink in their mind? Or could the symbol be the strongest point of meaning?
