This assignment instructed the class create an all type poster design for Banned Books Week 2023. We needed to include a quote from the book as well create our own body copy explaining why the book was banned. I chose to do "The Shining" by Stephen King for my poster as it was banned for its depiction of alcoholism, domestic abuse, mental health, and supernatural horror. I read the book in high school and have seen the movie a couple of times so I thought it'd be a good choice.

Eventually, I came up with the typewriter type figure idea, but it took a lot of brainstorming because a lot of my ideas were more influenced by the movie, which is a good bit different. I'd say the one thing I struggled with this poster was the conceptual unity. Making the quote, type figure, body copy, and overall concept of the poster all relate to why the book was banned was a bit challenging. Overall, with it being our first project in this class to involve color, I am proud of how it turned out.
