Part of my series of final projects at Ringling College of Art + Design.

Vincenza Della Donna, a 3rd year Illustration major, took her inspiration from a line that Medusa sings in Jean-Baptiste Lully's Persée(an opera we covered in Classical Mythology in Literature, Art and Music). By taking the lyrics “Happy is the fury that fills the universe with horror” and turning them into a typographic poster (using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop), Vincenza highlighted the gorgon’s anger at the injustice behind her monstrous transformation. Check out the way that all of the lettering is connected to represent the twisted nature of Medusa’s predicament (and, of course, the snakes) and the background of stone to represent the result of looking in the gorgon’s eyes.
