Entry Description

This poster design was created upon request from Professor Yohei Kotsuhashi of the Functional Polymer Laboratory at a Japanese university to establish the laboratory's branding. The visual concept for this poster stems from research conducted within the lab that mimics the wings of cicadas. Consequently, the cicada was adopted as the motif symbolizing the laboratory. Furthermore, the layout places the cicada—the origin of the research theme—at the center of the poster, emphasizing the significance of the relationship between the research and the cicada.
