This a horizontal 11″x17″ poster I made to promote the gathering for all those with in The Ridge that contribute to the arts. Whether it be through the band, creativity, drama, stage design, speaking, graphic design, video, lighting, audio, media, etc, this event is for those people. This poster will only be used for people who are a part of those teams, and will be hung around The Ridge, but I think it’ll prove effective.

It’s a style I haven’t really dabbled into before, but I like it. It was fun to come up with the composition in a new way, plus altering ITC Avant Garde for the type setting.

If you are a part of the team, and this is the first you’d heard about it, be sure to check your e-mail for the eVite (I know i hate eVite too) and RSVP so we can have a headcount of how many to provide food for!

Oh and of course, if you get a chance, graphically what do you think of this piece? What would you have done different to achieve this style?

This really just started as an experiment with a fun color palette, but i think I was looking at a lot of ISO50 stuff at the time, so he was a subliminal source of inspiration. There’s really no point to it, but i’ve got a 2′ x 4′ print of it in my office and it looks pretty. I think a lot of times I enjoy designing when there’s no pressure to have a finished product, or it doesn’t need to look any certain way or communicate any designated feeling. I like it when it just has to be. That’s it.
