Leeds Inspired poster by Anna Peaker

The Leeds based Graphic artist, Anna Peaker designed this A3 commissioned poster for Leeds inspired. Her poster is bold filled with simple coloured patterns that easily portray architectural buildings; when I look carefully I can see there are patterns take shapes of windows, stairs and even top of buildings. Anna Peaker said she was inspired by the shapes and patterns of her home city Leeds “The poster itself was inspired by the patterns and shapes of the city, there’s a great film by John Betjeman about Leeds that a friend directed me to recently, where he muses about the old architecture of Leeds. Culturally, I think Leeds and the surrounding areas are so unique, there’s always something to do or see whether it be music, film or art events.” I am also from Leeds and i can see why Anna was inspired by the buildings, there is cultural diversity and that has influenced the architecture in Leeds. I like the fact she only used patterns for her poster and it still managed to inform about the beauty Leeds architecture buildings.
