Description

I originally wanted to place this under Typography because it was originally meant for a typography class but looking at the image as it is at first glance will tell you otherwise.

----------

For one of my typography classes, we were given a word and asked to come up with a double-sided poster expressing the word in visual connotation at the front while the back would be dedicated to text with lesser visual aspects. I was given the word, Trust.

It took me quite some time to come up with something. I wanted to portray the word in a way that was not cliche, not commonly thought of, specifically anything not of the commonly humanistic portrayal of trust, ie: intertwining hands and human contact. Somewhere along the conceptual process, I stumbled across the issues concerning medication, placebo, and the truth behind certain medications, how sick and dying people are basically leached off of their resources without any true promises of survival or getting well, all for the sake of profit a.k.a. cold hard cash.

I searched up drug names starting with the letters T, R, U and S to form out the word TRUST visually by placing said drugs in the order of the word and rendered them through Illustrator. There are no actual connotations behind the drugs I used rather than the letter they begin with. The said drugs are:
Tylenol for T
Restoril for R
Unipen for U
Seasonique forS
Tenormin for T

This is the front part of the poster.

Some details+back: [link]

The original size of this poster is 24x36 inches and the actual print does display quite a number of tiny details, from the lines going around each of the vectorized dimensions, to the barely noticeably soft gray, grainy background. Printing this took quite a while too because unfortunately, the pdf size amounts to over half a gigabyte.
