The phrase I chose was, "lean forward", which is all about embracing your challenges in life. When faced with difficulty or struggle, it is important to lean into whatever it is in order to overcome them and grow as a person. In order to reflect this visually, I chose to relate it to skiing. When skiing down a slope, it is important to lean forward to stay on top of the snow and conquer the mountain. If you lean backwards, you will likely fall. For this project, my solution was to create a typographic illustration of a someone skiing down a mountain, with my phrase, "lean forward", hand-lettered in the cloud of snow. The colors of the piece reflect vintage ski posters, while allowing the red letters to pop out as the hero of the poster.
