Designing and Printing the Poster
4-week course with Jon Flannery
Schedule:
Sundays September 22, 29, October 6 & 13
10 am - 1pm
​​
CLASS IS FULL! Thank you!
​
Course Description
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.
Topics covered
-Poster history, basic tenets of effective and efficient image-making, and color theory
-Creating visual impact within limitations of few colors and brief timeline
-Taking your poster from digital final to print (pre-press and separations)
-Basic rules and best practices of photo emulsion screen printing

Day 1: Posters / Graphic Design overview and conversation.
