Exhibitor Media Group was planning a surprise party and I was asked to design two posters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Process<\/strong><br \/>\nBefore starting, I gathered a few quirky facts about each individual from other colleagues. I wanted the posters to reflect each person\u2019s personality. Since Mark started his first job at the company in 1995, his poster focuses on events that happened during that year. I also wanted the style of his poster to feel like a design from the 1990s. Kay\u2019s poster on the other hand, was inspired by album covers of the 1960s. My goal was to make her look like a rock star and emphasize the many characteristics and skills that define her role at our company.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Inspiration for Mark&#8217;s poster:\u00a0<\/strong>I stumbled upon a Grateful Dead concert poster and was inspired by the gradient background and screen printed lettering. I wanted Mark&#8217;s poster to resemble a newspaper but with a fun, 90&#8217;s vibe.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-304 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/danamariadesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Mark_inspiration.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"827\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"http:\/\/danamariadesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Mark_inspiration.jpg 827w, http:\/\/danamariadesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Mark_inspiration-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Pencil sketches before creating the poster in Adobe InDesign.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-302 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/danamariadesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Poster_sketches.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"827\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"http:\/\/danamariadesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Poster_sketches.jpg 827w, http:\/\/danamariadesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Poster_sketches-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Inspiration for Kay&#8217;s poster:\u00a0<\/strong>Music posters and album covers were inspiration to Kay&#8217;s poster design.
