Detailed Description

This project is a visualisation attempt of the Kaliyuga predictions, written in Sanskrit in Srimad Bhagavatam, whose English translation and purport have been given by Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. All 17 posters include the original Sanskrit verses, their English translation, a one-word English title, and illustrations that closely depict those predictions' meaning.

Creating posters on Kaliyuga predictions is about making it interesting to attract attention, thus giving the viewers an opportunity to verify its relevance in the present world, which may give them a broader world view to deal with life situations.

Through this project, I learned how pictorial metaphor and analogical juxtaposition can be used to create a visual that conveys meaning and creates an impact in the viewer's mind.
