Three poster jobs, three different problems: a floral shop that needs reasons for regulars to look twice, a student pop-up that needs to pull a crowd, and a summer series with no brief at all.

For the floral shop, I explored a few marketing directions:

  • Seasonal flowers β€” posters that shift palette with the season. Pastels for spring, bold for summer, deep tones for autumn, cool blues for winter.

  • Bouquet of the day β€” a rotating featured arrangement. Shows the florist's range and gives regulars a reason to check back.

  • Care tips β€” practical posters on keeping flowers alive at home. QR codes link to detailed guides on the shop's site.

  • Customer photos β€” customers share how they styled their purchases. One photo featured monthly on a poster.

Example posters for these directions:

My poster was selected as the official graphic for a student pop-up event at Forum Kortteli , organized with our school. Students exhibited and sold posters, postcards, and other work.

I went with abstract shapes and gradient colours. Spent most of the time on typography. Honestly, the main goal was to make it look cool 😎.

And a few yellow-toned posters 🟨🟧 for summer 🌞🧴
