This was a project done in conjunction with the Advanced Poetry class at my University. The original poem given to me ended up being a duplicate , meaning it had already been assigned to another student in the class. (I was okay with that; after having read the poem, I was not enthused about the task.) My professor asked me if I would like to change, and immediately I requested Tsume's poem. I had never read it before; all I knew was that she was my friend, she was in the class, and I could trust her poetry would be good to work with.

And what do you know, it was!

So, the assignment was to create a broadside based on the assigned poem, but the design had to reference graphic design history. I chose to pattern my poster after Constructivism, and I'm rather pleased with how well everything came together. My professor noted that the typography is a little more related to Dada or Futurism, but that works with the concept of the poem. Thanks to having a good poet to work with (who was quite excited about the whole project and, consequently, made me very enthusiastic), I found quite a lot of the necessary inspiration to pull this poster through.

Many thanks to the poet, , for her wonderful support and clever words.
