Client: The Maine Apple Seminar

The Maine Apple Seminar is to be held fall 2011. It aims to highlight the heritage apple varieties originating in Maine and put Mainers back in touch with their roots as an apple culture through events and talks by pomologists as well as cider pressing, apple tasting, workshops, and kids activities.

To advertise the event, I created 1 large poster and 2 series’ of smaller posters. Though these posters take slightly different approaches, they were made to be visually consistent with each other so that they can be used together effectively as a larger campaign.

My first design for the seminar was a large 34” x 22” poster that highlights the location where the event is to be held- the historic and locally iconic Black House.

Nataraja (The Lord of Dance), is one of the forms of the Hindu god Shiva. His dance represents creation and destruction. In his upper right hand, Nataraja holds an hourglass drum that symbolizes creation and the pulse of the universe. The opposite hand, the upper left, counters the upper right with flames that represent destruction. The second right hand is held in the Abhaya pose, bestowing protection. The image of Nataraja represents the balance of the opposites of the world, and the cyclic rhythm of the universe, and additionally is full of many such meaningful symbols.

Krishna is a Hindu god who is sometimes seen as the supreme god, from which all other gods originated. His name means many things including “dark one,” “bluish black” (his complexion is described to be “that of a storm cloud”) and “existence of knowledge and bliss.” He is associated with the Hindu concept of Lila, which explains the universe as a cosmic “purposeless play.” Krishna is always depicted wearing peacock feathers in his crown, therefore I chose to represent his manifestation of the world, his “Lila,” in the form of a peacock. Instead of giving Krishna an actual form, I drew only his eyes and nose to show his oneness with the universe and the cosmos. Krishna’s eyes are said to be incredibly beautiful and play an important role in many Hindu myths.
