Mandala Page Layout

Using the Patter Brush tool in Adobe Illustrator, I made mandalas with objects and shapes representing myself. The objects are explained in a infographic style on the poster.
The shades and tints of orange were chosen to give a warm and cozy feeling, the slab serif was also used to the same purpose.
