This poster representing my hometown West Sumatra in the movement to fought from the Colonialism and occupation at that time, this artwork poster inspired by A.M Cassandre in his style at Art Deco and Cubism.
The second one is an infographic for A.M Cassandre Biography, by putting some elements from his various artworks, like "L'ATLANTIQUE"and a theatre curtain representing his work on theatre design. For the headline i customize a typeface to make it look a like the Cassandre's type design "Le Bifur".
