Seasons of Liturgy

A Contemplative Poster Series
Johnny Kerr
       This project illuminates liturgical seasons and practices from the Christian tradition with a series of posters inspired by midcentury design principles.
       Each poster was designed in vector format using Adobe Illustrator and presented as 11" x 17" archival prints. The overall design aesthetic is largely inspired by the International Typographic Style (A.K.A. Swiss Style), particularly the grid system approach pioneered by Josef Müller-Brockmann in the first half of the 20th century. The principles of the grid system serve to simplify and harmonize the presentation of text and imagery through clear visual hierarchy while avoiding symmetry for more dynamic composition arrangements.

       Other sources of visual inspiration included Henri Matisse's cutouts and the graphic works of Saul Bass and Paul Rand.
       Each poster in the series also exhibits shared components from the broader liturgical tradition. For example, each includes a simple visual icon (visio) and a brief scripture passages (lectio). The text and images together serve to inspire contemplative reflection as opposed to a mere information exchange with the viewer.

As always, thank you for looking with me
