//aikido posters

Info-graphic posters sourced from Aikido training sessions. The posters illustrates break falls – the movement that results in a person being thrown on the mat. The colours represents colour belts, the lines shows the order of techniques being performed. The poster with concentric circles or ripples represented the person’s impact on the mats - like ripples that spread in a pond.

The poster itself is a plan of all of the mats arranged on the floor. Each set of circles represented one encounter in the match. The size of the circles reflects how heavily the person fell - they widen as the person tires and begins to fall more heavily.
