See What's Out There: Poster #3

This week the latest in our series of Leeds Inspired posters has been appearing on poster drums across Leeds. We commissioned four illustrators to respond to our See What's Out There strapline. The brief was deliberately open with the caveat that we didn't want a literal interpretation of culture -  which basically meant no theatre masks please!

Our current poster is by Finnish born illustrator Johanna Harma who presented us with a striking image of the city trying to contain the creative tendrils of mother nature. It made us think of dreamy roof gardens and how we all seek out oasis-like spaces every now and again. You can find out more about Johanna's inspiration for the poster (and how The Moomins and Emmerdale have inluenced her along the way) in this Culture Vultures interview with Wendy Denman.
