Poster-a-Day
Illustration & Exploration
Personal Project
“For many…the self-discipline demanded by such an endeavor is not just a fun distraction from client work, but a vital tool in gaining new skills…The enforced practice that comes with creating a poster a day has helped [Allan Yu] become a better designer.”
This quote is from: “In Defense of Poster-A-Day Projects“ by Emily Gosling, who interviewed Allan Yu about his poster-a-day project. Gosling’s story highlights why making one poster a day is an engaging challenge for designers both novice and experienced. My technique varied. Some days I would pick a particular color, typeface, or word to center my design around. Other days, I would attempt to mimic the style of another artist. Oftentimes the latter required teaching myself a new skill on Illustrator or Photoshop.
