POSTER DESIGNS
I first visited the town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado when my boyfriend moved there for work. The simple beauty of a quaint town nestled in the shadow of an enormous mountain was remarkable. After two years working in the town my boyfriend will be moving back to Missouri. I know that he will miss living in Steamboat Springs so I wanted to make him something by which to remember the town. In this poster I chose to include all of his favorite restaurants and activities. I focused on getting all of the detail accurate, down to the exact ski paths on the mountain. My aim in creating this gift was to give my boyfriend something by which he could always remember his time in Colorado.
This project featured a poster design for the annual AIGA design contest. My focus for this two color, typographical driven project was on the concept that all projects whether professional or student begin with a pencil, a blank piece of paper, and a great idea.
The poster was the main feature on the back of a complicated folded pamphlet which contained all of the information regarding the deadline, judges, submission categories, cost, and infographics supporting the overall theme of the power of a pencil. Featured to the right are several "pages" from the overall larger folded pamphlet.
