Poster by Naomi DeBoer
This is an image I first saw and had to double-take on my way out of the classroom building. In terms of posters advertising events on campus (and God Almighty knows there are horrible ones out there), this is one that doesn't scream at you to look at it. It doesn't use huge block lettering, or a bad joke, to get your attention - it's a fairy-tale image and it's in my opinion that Naomi does best at this style.
And she managed to fit a lot of information on the bottom wipe.
I wonder about the red coloring on the bottom though - it kind of freaks me out.
The tree and canvas background are hand painted in acrylic on canvas. The swoops and copy were added afterward in Illustrator and Photoshop... right? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Naomi DeBoer is currently a junior majoring in both Fine Arts and Graphic Design. She's done other work for the Theatre Arts dept. - the poster for Dead Man Walking and the playbill for Urinetown immediately come to mind.
(The images on blogspot really don't show very well - should we move this to photoblog instead?)
