This project contains two posters shown side-by-side. The posters focus on the word Greed, specifically in terms of money. The style of the graphics within the images were made to resemble those found on American money, as I personally connect those lines and colors to the word. The figure, however, peering out over the bottom of the poster can be viewed as a more universal interpretation. The figure is a reflection of ourselves, and speaks to the greed that lives within each of us to some degree. The greed that lies in waiting, ready to creep up and take over when the time is right.
