This poster is made for the Global Biennale of Graphic Design 2016 - Golden Bee. I wanted to explore a different type of illustration style. The poster depicts how mercy falls from heaven like gentle rain. Inspiration was drawn from Portia's quality of mercy speech and nature mainly- rain, growth, new life and heaven. The entire illustration is based on forgiveness which is existent with mercy.
Lines from Portia's speech:
The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
