Looking for a job can be an exhausting, thrilling, but also a very disheartening process. As I was applying for jobs back in 2018, the amount of rejected applications that had accumulated in my inbox finally dawned on me.


As a result, I turned every rejected application into a poster, flipping the script on what it would mean to get turned down. Instead of letting it discourage me to keep going, now I would have the opportunity to further improve my design skills and play around with layout, colour, form and my sense of pride.
