Historic Event

Designing History: Turning the Past into Visual Storytelling

This project explores the power of visual design in communicating history through form, color, and composition. Centered on a selected historic event, the poster blends typography and imagery to capture its emotional depth and cultural significance. From in-depth research and conceptual sketching to digital development in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, the process emphasizes visual hierarchy, rhythm, and balance. The outcome is a cohesive and compelling poster that transforms historical context into a captivating visual narrative.

For this historic event poster, I focused on using visual design to communicate the atmosphere of “The Scarlet Pimperneland” the French Revolution era. Through research, sketching, and digital work in Illustrator and Photoshop, I learned how typography, color, and composition can express both history and emotion. I used darker tones and dramatic imagery to reflect the tension of the period, while the type and layout helped create hierarchy and balance. This project taught me how to turn historical context into a strong visual story and how design choices can make an event feel engaging and meaningful.

This Project is about a historic event, a story about a group of knights that lent money to a king, but then he wanted to get them killed to erase his debts. This poster is a set of layered pictures that are specifically picked to convey the mysterious and gloomy feel, put together in such a way to be presented as a movie poster, something that will catch the eye and make you want to watch something like this.

In this poster, I showcase Bauhaus architecture through a visual language inspired by the movement’s core principles: simplicity, geometry, and functionality. The composition is built on a strict grid system, using bold geometric shapes and strong vertical and horizontal alignment to reflect Bauhaus structural logic. A limited palette of primary colors, red, blue, and yellow, paired with black and white reinforces the iconic identity of the movement. Sans-serif typography is integrated as a key visual element rather than decorative text, emphasizing clarity and purpose.

“Echoes of Time” reflects the spirit of old music and how melodies carry memories across generations. The vintage gramophone and the birds symbolize how sound travels and how music becomes a living memory. The artwork highlights that music is not just something we hear, but a timeless story that continues to echo through the past and into the present.
