When initially getting the prompt of “Breadcrumb Journeys,” I had a bit of difficulty generating ideas. I needed to look more into the origin of the project and the people that we were aiming to represent with our posters. Once I read more into Lexy Vecchio and Yingzhuo Liu along with their projects, I got a lot more inspiration I could use to start my concepts. I decided to include aspects of each of their projects in the posters. I wanted to incorporate a bear into each of the posters as the central figure to reference Vecchio’s horror game “Here There Be Bears”. I also used the theme of nutrition in some of my posters to reference Liu’s design for a mobile app called “SnackPal.” For my first poster, I had the main figure, the bear, standing on a cliff in the foreground in front of a mountain range with a winding trail leading back. In this piece, I wanted to capture the feeling of a long journey ahead to call back to the initial prompt. In the second poster, I included falling pieces of food and positioned the bear at the bottom of the illustration, looking up at the food. This work aimed to include references that tie back to both artists. This was also the poster I knew I would eventually animate as it was the simplest and its design already leaned into the implication of motion. For my final poster, the bear was pushed to the back but loomed over the table it was in front of, with only the lower half of its face and upper torso visible. In front of it, I put a picnic table and a plate to again tie into the themes of food. One running idea I kept through each of my posters is that the bear gets larger and larger in each one, as if it gets closer and closer to the figurative camera. There is an implied narrative that takes place as the bear looks for food in the first poster, finds it in the second, and is left with an empty plate in the third.
