THESIS ABSTRACT
To me, the most interesting design work is often open to interpretation. Exploring The Poetic Gap is a formal investigation into visual poetry, the role personal interpretation plays in communication, and techniques that cause design to become poetic. Poetry’s innate artfulness and inherent potential for ambiguity make it a fitting resource for visual exploration. My work explores poetic strategies in the language of graphic design and aims to be contemplative, layered, and visually dramatic.
