Graphic poster featuring a portrait sliced into vertical stripes, creating an abstract fragmented effect in black and cream.
Summary
A Yale graphic design poster that fragments a portrait into vertical strips, creating an kinetic sense of motion and abstraction in black ink on cream paper.
Visual description
Vertical poster composition with a portrait divided into thin parallel strips that appear to shift and slide past each other horizontally. The alternating black and cream bars create a moiré or displacement effect. Typography at bottom in minimal sans-serif. High contrast print with no halftone, pure black on off-white paper stock.
Key takeaway
Slicing and offset as a technique to abstract portraiture while maintaining recognizability. The kinetic motion created by the displaced strips adds energy to a static composition.
Reuse notes
Strong reference for experimental poster design, editorial layouts, and motion graphics concepts. Works well for music, art, or culture communications. Can be scaled up for large-format wall installation.
