4-Day Class: Jon Flannery
Designing and Printing the Poster
This course will give you the tools to design a beautiful AND functional poster. Posters are not paintings, they are often created in response to or in service of a current event (a concert, a call to action/protest, an annual event, etc).Therefore the poster must service its function within limited time and often limited means (budgetary limitations that directly effect the printing process). We will learn to creatively work with and against these parameters. The best posters are usually few colors, in order to serve as quick reads that leave lasting impressions.
3-Day Class: Maureen George & Shelley Creech
