For this project I was tasked with picking a topic I was passionate about that I would be able to devote a semester's work to. Climate change and the effect we have as humans on the environment is something that I am drawn to, as well as fashion, which has a significant effect on the environment.
My first task was to gather research on the topic and from this research derive words and phrases that could be made into icons and patterns that represent our topic.
Using the research a poster series was also made using all of the text content from the research.
Finally, all of our research and previous work in the semester was incorporated into a publication that completed my vision of the topic of fast fashion’s effect on the environment.
The publication uses a strong red as an accent color to the white and black, sans-serif typography, and the simple icons to represent the importance and severity of the topic while also resembling the simplicity and colors of specification sheets fashion brands use to communicate with clothing manufacturers.
Typography and imagery is ordered in a grid but also disordered through overlapping to create a sense of urgency.
