Heyo

This was #1 of three posters I produced for a recent exhibition I was involved in called "DROPSHADOW: An Exploration of Design Taboo"

Here be the tumblr: [link]

Dropshadow refers specifically to the somewhat automated digital tool/effect, which has a traditionally bad reputation amongst the design community. Works featuring the effect often overuse it, or rely entirely upon it to create depth, and it more often than not comes off looking really tacky and fake. We were taught to pretty much never use it.

With this show, we wanted to showcase the potential positives of the Dropshadow effect, the argument being that when used creatively, or in the right context, it can be an effective aesthetic element.

I took it as a challenge to use a dropshadow on EVERY SINGLE OBJECT This poster was originally intended to be really minimal...I guess it is, comparatively for me....but also, not really at all, haha.

I also snuck a Manion in there.

Anyways, hope you lieeek
