Poster Brief:

For the "New Wave" event poster, I approached the design process with a focus on creativity, research, and ensuring that the visual elements aligned with the target audience. By combining traditional sketching techniques with advanced digital tools, I was able to create a compelling and unique visual identity for the event.

Key Steps in the Design Process:

  • Initial sketching - The project began with hand-drawn sketches of the main title, "New Wave", using pencil and paper. This allowed for an organic, fluid creation process where I could experiment with various forms and shapes for the lettering.


  • Digitizing the Sketch - After finalizing the hand-drawn title, I imported the sketch into Adobe Illustrator. Here, I refined and cleaned up the lines, ensuring that the typography was bold and eye-catching. The use of illustrator also enabled me to adjust the design to be scalable and versatile for both print and digital formats.

Audience Research:

  • Analyzing the event demographic - I studied the interests, behaviours and trends of the audience attending this type of entertainment event, focusing on youth culture and modern street art influences.

  • Visual Inspiration - I explored various visual styles, including graffiti and bold playful typography, to align the poster with the energetic and vibrant tone of the event.

  • Image Sourcing - Carefully sourced images that accurately reflected the events atmosphere and audience, incorporating them into the background to create a dynamic and relatable feel.

Final Design & Colour Palette:

I experimented with colours to ensure the final product was representative of the events theme, "Madness Unleashed". The bright reds and blues evoke energy and excitement, while the character-filled typography adds a playful touch.

Conclusion:

By integrating both traditional and digital techniques, I was able to design a poster that captures the spirit of the "New Wave" event. My research ensured that every element resonate with the target audience, creating a design that not only stands out but also engages the viewers.
