New York or Nowhere

New York or Nowhere is a nod to the quote that can be found graffitied around NYC streets.

In this poster I created different typographical treatments using that quote on plastics bags as a play on the classic “Thank You” bags you receive when shopping with small businesses. The choice of type is also a nod to type that can be found in and around the city from the New York Times to Store Signage. For me the theme of Inclusivity, Diversity and Creativity shows up in the design of the city and I played on some of my favourite design elements too create this poster.
