Portfolio Poster

The poster design for the portfolio show of the graduating Graphic Design class of 2024 revolves around the theme of the Eastern Dragon of the Chinese zodiac, as 2024 is the Year of the Dragon. Unlike the typical European dragon, the Chinese dragon is not inherently evil; it is usually a symbol of good luck, and it often wears a cheerful smile, meant to bring relief to those around it.

This theme resonates deeply with the graduating class, symbolizing the struggles they have overcome and the journey they are about to embark upon after graduation. The Eastern Dragon serves as a powerful metaphor for resilience, strength, and good fortune, encapsulating the spirit of the graduates as they step into the next chapter of their lives.

The design elements of the poster are carefully curated to reflect the essence of the Eastern Dragon. The dragon, with its cheerful smile, is depicted as the focal point, radiating positivity and encouragement. A vibrant color palette, inspired by traditional Chinese art, adds energy and dynamism to the design. Intricate details and flowing lines capture the elegance and grace of the Eastern Dragon, while also representing the creativity and finesse of the graduating class.

Through this design, the narrative of the poster not only celebrates the accomplishments of the graduates but also offers hope and optimism for their future endeavors. The poster serves as a reminder that, like the Eastern Dragon, they possess the strength and resilience to overcome any challenges they may face, and that good luck and success are within reach as they embark on their post-graduation journey.
