Seeding the City San Mateo

Seeding the City: Nature's Story is an Earth Day poster exhibition held at the College of San Mateo (US). As the official poster of the exhibition, the goal was to tell by means of design and typography about the event dedicated to the city and nature.

The letters are intertwined like branches of plants, reflecting the metaphor of nature. The beneficial influence of man is depicted in the image of a watering can, which joyfully strives to water plants. The theme of the poster was also influenced by the choice of font: Apfel Grotezk by Collletttivo, which can be literally translated from German as “Apple Grotesk” as a part of the nature.
