Overall Assignment:

You’ve been contacted to produce a poster for a special event for a dream client!  Choose a favorite band, show, or cause and represent the feeling of it through skillful design and composition.

Text should be minimal and complementary to the Illustration, which should be the focus of the project.

Create sample copy and at least six thumbnail designs for a poster advertising an event of your choice.

• Choose something you truly care about.
• The event can be a real or made-up.
• The copy can be real or made up.
• The subject is totally up to you.

The copy needs to include any key information… for example:

Who is it featuring?

What is the event?

Where is the event?

When is it?

Your illustration should be the WHY!

Final art needs to be black-and-white and 9″ x 12″.

Note: If you have the opportunity to use this assignment to make a poster for a real event, school play, friend’s band, and so on, it’s recommended that you go for that!
