Economics PhD Photoshoot

These past two weeks haven’t been as busy as previous fortnights have been.

After finishing up the HTML & CSS tutorial that Stacy sent my way, I began to work on coding up some of the designs that I created in Photoshop earlier.

This past week I completed a poster for the history department to promote an upcoming speaker event on the impact of the Cultural Revolution. As any Chinese person would know, this was a tumultuous and chaotic time with a disputed outcome. I’m actually very glad I got to make the poster because I identify with the event. The department gave me the image below to start.

And I tried a few ideas to make the image pop.

idea 2

(this one ended up looking more Japanese than Chinese)

 

Below is the design I ended up using. The color red came naturally (color of the revolution, color of the flag), and I thought the navy was a nice contrast for the details at the bottom of the poster.
