This is our Project 4 assignment - An Emotional Cyrk Poster. We had to take our Pseudonym (fictitious character) from our in-class assignment project - using its style, characteristics, and emotion - and express it through a unique Cyrk poster.
Cyrk - contemporary Polish circus posters, emerged in 1962 as a genre of the Polish School of Posters. they are characterized by their display of aesthetic qualities such as painterly gestures, linear design, hand lettering, metaphors, humor, and vibrant colors. Usually based on a single theme and not meant to be advertisements; they were created in an attempt to interest the passerby in the upcoming circus.
My fictitious character, Jon Mess, expressed some of his characteristics by using a messy soft pastel medium and cardboard. He colored in many different directions to show the angry side to him. The subject he drew was a man riding a unicycle, holding scissors (because he's got a dangerous side to him too), and the word 'Cyrk' coming from his messy hairstyle.
