While scrolling through Pinterest, I saw a quote by Xan Oku: "May the flowers remind us why the rain was so necessary".
Seeing the words "flowers" and "rain reminded me of a floral picture I took.
I combined the two to create this poster.
Design Rationale
This was created in Illustrator.
The first image is my photograph in Queen Mary's Rose Garden in London. I saw the black flower looked at odds with the bushel of white flowers it was next to, and snapped this picture on my mirrorless camera.
After stumbling across the quote, I remembered this picture and felt inspired to create something with it.
The white mask over the image has cut-out shapes of a fully blossomed flower over the black flower, while the white flower has a wilting flower petals and falling petals falling. The falling petals mimic the rain that the quote talks about.
I used a halftone effect on the typography to give it a printed feel. I also chose serif and script fonts. The script fonts emphasized the parts of the quote that related to the background image.
