Typography project - The burden of being a society

For this project we were asked to explore the topic, and the relations between, human culture and time, and present it in the form of two posters that should work coherently – one illustrative and one centered around an essay that we were to write. After exploring different angles through sketches and research i settled on the topic of societal collapse for my project, a always relevant topic that we as humans tend to avoid facing until it is too late. Through my posters I wanted to bring awareness to our unstable ways of building (western) societies, awaken thought about other options of societal structure and make people question whether collapse needs to be a part of our culture. The text is hand written in ink, and the illustration was painted using acrylics.
