After conducting a client interview, my group Carlie, Ahlam and I began ideating on the different themes, iconography, and layout structures for the event’s main poster. We reviewed our notes that highlighted our client’s priorities, vision, preferences, as well as their boundaries.

We had a difficult time trying to incorporate all three of our ideas in one poster without cluttering the composition, so the three of us created our own rough drafts to present to our client for feedback and direction.

Drafts & Process

To our surprise, our client chose all three of our designs; Carlie’s direction for the event poster, my tile layout for the Ads, and Ahlam’s silhouette figures for application across all deliverables.
