Featured Designer Clea Forkert

For this week's post I chose to feature a Canadian designer named Clea Forkert. She graduated from Yoirk/Seridan Design in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She has over 14 years experience. She is currently working freelance. I think she has a very distinct late modern style. She uses formal asymmetrical compositions, negative space and sometimes transforms type into imagery. In my opinion I think her work is controlled, balanced and very legible.

I was attracted to this poster for its organic shapes and grid-like typographic layout. The poster invites the viewer to navigate a surrealistic landscape out of a Dali painting.
