Project 03: Event Posters

 DUE: 29 October 2013 (Quick turnaround, but you can do it!)

This next project, as I mentioned, is one of my favorites! You have quite a bit of creative freedom to use your skills in illustration and/or photography to really engage viewers and attract people to your chosen event. All visuals should be your original artwork. Think about type legibility and how the entire composition works together. The final poster will be 12" x 18", full bleed.

Possible events include:
- Concerts
- Plays
- Musicals
- Festivals
- Comedy shows
- Conventions
- Sporting events

If you can't think of anything, go through Creative Loafing to see what upcoming happenings might work out well for your chosen topic.

Remember to include on the poster:
1. Event name
2. Date(s)
3. Time
4. Web address
5. Ticket price, if applicable
6. Sponsors, if applicable

Look at other similar posters to see what information is relevant for you.

Here are a few examples from last fall. Some are stronger than others, but you can see all of the different approaches taken.
