I’m someone who self taught graphic design and I never in a million years would have tried something this audacious. Thanks for sharing!

This rocks. I would’ve flipped my lid at that reveal in design school; I found Paula much later in my career.

…There are so many lessons learned from practicing illustration that can be applied to practice designing, and vice versa, if we allow the information to flow freely from one to the other. Art school often inspires factionalism.

Design class at SVA taught by Frank Young had us remixing elements from the poster with multiple iterations shared every week for almost an entire semester if memory serves. A great assignment that teaches you to internalize the elements and then abstract them entirely.
