USA National Parks
Poster & Illustrations
Objective
The USA has a very diverse landscape and many different natural features to explore. Each region has its own unique characteristics and landscape. I set out to create a poster that highlights the national parks and landscapes in each region that appeals to young-at-heart travelers who care about the outdoors and want to learn more about the USA.
Summary
The hand-drawn graphics combined with the slab display and script typefaces create a warm sense of friendliness and approachability. The sans-serif typeface and warm color palette are nods to mid-century national parks graphics. Together, they make a cohesive and warm design that appeals to travelers of all ages.
Conclusion
This was my first illustration-heavy project and I’m so proud of the way it turned out. Mid-century signage and typography have always heavily inspired me, and it was exciting to get the opportunity to translate that into a poster that celebrates the outdoors. In the future, I’d love to expand this and create a whole series of posters that feature illustrations of each national park along with stickers and other merchandise that can be sold at each park.
