Inspired by the haiku produced in ENGL 280, CCT students Shimeng Tong, Jiaxin Yang, and Mengya Zhou have created posters illustrating a selection of the poems. The haiku were written from observations and reflections on Old North and the space surrounding it; the posters aim to use visual design to make the haiku more accessible and create an emotional connection with visitors to Old North. The posters visualize one haiku from each writer and creatively depict architectural elements of Old North and Dahlgren Chapel, historical events, student life, and futuristic visions.
