About Wood and Tree Póstaer

Póstaer é Wood and Tree a cruthaíodh do sheimineár ailtireachta a reáchtáladh in Tóiceo na Seapáine. Is é téama an tseimineáir ná úsáid nua an adhmaid, ábhar clasaiceach, san ailtireacht nua-aimseartha. Baineann an póstaer úsáid as teanga ghrafach nua-aimseartha chun líníocht chlasaiceach d'fháinní crainn a insamhail. Rinneadh tástáil ar línte de líon, tiús, cuaire agus dath éagsúil chun an patrún a chruthú. Tá an toradh matamaiticiúil ó thaobh struchtúir de, ach fanann áilleacht nádúrtha ann. Tá tomhas 210 faoi 297 milliméadar ar an bpóstaer. Taispeánadh é ag bealach isteach, áit a bhféadfadh cuairteoirí bileoga beaga a thógáil.
