This poster joins a series of posters dedicated to gun control in the US and was created in the wake of yet another tragic school shooting.

Each poster in this series uses the American flag and is then coupled with the tragic event it is highlighting. In this iteration, we created many versions of the flag before we settled on creating this illustrated version, which is a combination of hand-drawn watercolor strokes, composited with ruled paper, which was then photographed before being embedded into the overall design. In keeping with the recurring theme, we used minimalist typography to accentuate the tragedy.

My hope is that these posters will continue to engage and move the dialogue forward for this important issue in our society.
