A Poster

Glenn was recently contacted to create a poster, based on the title “Happy as…” The reason he was contacted, was his love and infatuation with creating posters. Currently with society, and the “look at me” culture of Myspace, Bebo and Facebook. Glenn felt he should create something to reflect this self-epitomizing culture, and label a poster as it is. To contrast this simplicity, the letters were broken up and disjointed to make it hard to read, making for an uncomfortable viewing experience.
