National Park Posters: Cuyahoga Valley

National Park Posters

Fall 2024

I made several posters for the 2025 United States International Poster Biennial, with the category of National Parks. I focused on the unconventional use of typography, texture, and symbols. The poster was ultimately selected in the exhibition amongst 11,845 entries!

Note: These posters are meant to be viewed as prints at 70cm x 100cm. Some typography may be illegible in web format.
