Berlin has had an eventful history. The city in Germany has gone through so much that I have a deep respect for the city and it’s people. The task was to design the poster on the word ” Berlin”. After researching, I came up with the concept. Berlin is known for historical buildings and its Wall. In my poster, I am representing those buildings through geometric shapes. I used the vintage color scheme that is associated with the history. I also incorporated the famous graffiti wall art piece, that shows the history.

Here are sketches of my concepts and brainstorming for the poster.

Color palette derived from the Berlin wall graffitti.
