Exploring how design can support local gardening initiatives
For my final project in the fourth semester at the Royal Danish Academy, I chose to explore forest gardens, a concept I’d recently discovered. I contacted Skovhavelunden on Lundtoftegade to see how I could help as a designer, and it turned out they needed new posters. This led to a collaboration with Skye Jin, the person behind Skovhavelunden, resulting in this poster series created by me.
During the collaboration, I had creative freedom to explore the directions I wanted the posters to take. Throughout the process, I sent different concepts and versions to Skye Jin, receiving ongoing feedback. This resulted in these two sets of posters, which work both as prints and as an animation I created. The posters will soon be displayed around Copenhagen and at Skovhavelunden.
