My objective was to create a poster promoting myself as a designer. I needed something that clearly communicated my creative thinking skills and innovation. At the same time I wanted to keep it simple.
This poster is called “Main Thing”. I wanted to make a poster that would tell future employers what I am about.The redundant, cheeky tag line says that I like to have fun, but at the same time it says I keep the main thing the main thing, and that is my design work. I communicated the tag line by using the main colors for 4-color printing, cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, CMYK.
The colors work together harmoniously to show a color wheel. Simplistic, and effective. “The Main Thing”, a 20” x 30” inkjet print, was submitted to the 40th Annual Juried Art Show at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay, and won the Art and Visual Design Award.
