Graphic Stories Cyprus invites all the creative people to take part in the international poster competition titled “Writing, the origins of Civilisation” and to see their work printed by creating their own poster. The international competition is part of the 4th Graphic Design and Visual Communication Conference in Cyprus that will take place between 9-11 of March 2018.

In this poster that I created, I wanted to showcase three writing instruments: a traditional feather, a ballpoint pen, and a hand which is an instrument we often forget. I drew from a more Greek influenced font and there are roots growing from the hand/forearm to show the evolution of the hand also being a tool in writing. In the background, one can see the Phoenician alphabet, the greek alphabet, and the modern day alphabet. My color scheme was inspired by psychedelic posters which represent a new form of thinking.
