event branding
client: bell's eccentric café
TASK: create Eye-catching and original designs to showcase a variety of annual major events. communicate important information in a fun way.
Prom: Schlost in space — 22" x 34"
Prom happens every year. Unlike conventional proms, we don't want you to put on a puffy dress or a dapper suit. We want you to get weird. Weird, in this case, about SPACE. Great turnout; filled with robots, cosmonauts, and aliens. I had a blast painting this poster based off of the iconic moon landing photograph.
prom: Monster s(mash)ed — 22" x 34"
There are a lot of visuals for a designer to reference when it comes to old school monster movies. Textures, faux printing, dot pitches, and an incredible history of creative monsters made working on this poster much fun.
Eccentric Day: 2016 — 22" x 34"
Eccentric Day is a Kalamazoo mainstay. Running (over) 13 years, it's consistently one of the go-to events in Kalamazoo. Eccentric Day demands that you "come as you aren't." No costumes from Halloween shops. You must arrive as you're own, original alter ego. I started making these posters years ago, and each year I have been adding new characters and elements. Nothing is weird in the same way as Eccentric Day.
New years eve: 2016 — 22" x 34"
New Years at the Café is a trip. Great beer and music at a surprising price-point. I've kept the big type treatment, but each year the background (and headliners) change.
