IN PROGRESS: PERSONAL LOGO

IN PROGRESS: SMAP POSTER

My friend Ang, an urban planner, approached me to design a poster for an upcoming student conference for the Michigan Association of Planning.

+ one color, in order to minimize print costs

Regarding the graphic, which could also be interpreted as a logo:
I wanted to convey a strong relationship between the urban and the natural.

Here are the color variations of the concept I sent her:

Love,
