The principle
No designer works in isolation. Every voice is built from influences — designers, artists, places, music, books and people. Mapping your influences honestly is a way to acknowledge them, understand your taste and see where you might go next.
Objective. Visualise the influences behind your work.
The brief
Design a poster that maps at least ten of your creative influences and how they connect.
Constraints
- At least ten influences, not all from design
- Show connections between them
- Use your personal type and palette
You're done when
- At least ten influences mapped
- Clear, meaningful connections
- A readable information design
Stretch goal
Add a timeline showing when each influence entered your life.
