    Armory Square Is

    I come from Shanghai, China. So I have some emotions about traffic jams, because in Shanghai, traffic jams can be really bad. They are not a joyful memory. But in Armory Square, I was stopped by traffic once, and that was fine.

    Armory Square is one of my favorite places. I love the historic feeling in that area. Everything is well preserved. There are some fashion stores and restaurants, and everything is combined very well. The buildings are part of the whole environment.

    In my memory of Armory Square, it's autumn, and the leaves and colors—it's beautiful. I like the conflicts between autumn and winter. They are completely different. And I love autumn here, so I chose to use a wild color palette for this poster.
