ThinkLab: The Makmal Series Georgetown Festival Poster Design
Client: Make Condition (MY)
R- Studio (my former agency) was commisioned by Make Condition to design a poster series for their ThinkLab Makmal Series forum that was held at the Georgetown Festival.
The idea behind the concept of the poster is about the subject itself, Cultural Marketplace. Penang was once a main busy port in the 19th century. They have traders from all over the globe coming there & spices are one of the main trades. During that period, spices are one, if not the most valuable trading commodity in the world, especially the Tumeric.
From there we wanted to do something that involves using the Tumeric. We decided to go with the colour that the Tumeric produced for the poster. It was cut into stamps, dipped it into a water and started stamped it on the canvas to bring out the colour and the creates some sort of a watercolour effect.
