Coco Chanel Biography Poster

Project 3
Create a poster in Photoshop featuring a leader in the arts or sciences who is no longer living. Design something that might be used on banners/in print with an exhibit, perhaps as a memorial of this person’s life and work. Select the best quality photograph or other image of this person and combine it with two or more images that illuminate the very best of the person’s life work, along with their name.

I decided to chose Coco Chanel as she revolutionized women's fashion the early 20th century. Many of the things women wear now are because of the impact Chanel had on society. I wanted to keep a fashion magazine approach to the poster as she is a fashion designer. I used the color creme and black as those were staples to Chanel when deigning clothes. In the image both Chanel and the model are wearing the iconic Chanel Suit, an empower clothing choice for women going into a male dominated workforce post-war. Also featured is the patten leather used in Chanel's No. 5 purse as well as the camellia flower- symbolic for Chanel.
