Event Promotion Assignment



For this project you will be designing a poster and other promotional items for a lecture series.

As a professional designer, I do quite a bit of this kind of work and I always relay on the fundamentals of visual organization to help me conceptualize, organize, and create alternative designs.

The following are some posters and other pieces I have designed. See if you can pick out what principle(s) I'm using.
