Skydiving

This is a poster graphic created for a Principles of Graphic Design class at San Francisco’s Academy of Art. The communicative objective was to illustrate a type of movement. The grid is used as a point of departure in this project. Skydiving was the motion that I chose to represent. I found the moment when the skydiver transitions in speed—from freefall to the opening of the parachute—to be of particular interest.
