The Art of the Poster

For the past couple of weeks, Graphics II students have been learning about the history of poster design & it's role in twentieth-century advertising. Beginning with a look at historical and iconic posters from Hollywood, advertising and modern pop culture, students explored the messages conveyed to an "audience on the move." Then, student designers put their own skills to work as they researched ideas, developed sketches and created poster designs for the PRP's production of the "Little Shop of Horrors" musical.

This week, Graphics II students have been working on concepts for a cd package design project, while my Intro to Graphics class has been exploring the basics of Adobe InDesign, through a series of Lab exercises.
