ABOUT

The premise of this brief was to produce an illustrated poster that encompasses what Etsy do. Etsy, for the most part, is an online craft fair; therefore the concept was to keep it simple & hand-made as is with many of the items for sale on there. ‘Craft Nouveau’ is a play on the Art Nouveau movement. The idea being that this is a place you’ll find art and hand made items, as is also cemented by the subject holding a ball of wool. I wanted the poster to be striking, but more so for the handmade effort placed into the production of it to be recognised. With this, therefore opting to hand-carve the poster into an A3 sheet of lino to print. Etsy had no involvement in or use of this work.
