Hey  Duo!

We need you to design 2 posters for Dr. Barchas by Friday.

  • dimensions: tbd
  • portrait
  • upload draft pngs here and @ Suloni and I in the message
  • save as pdf and upload final design files into Box folder: https://utexas.box.com/s/fv6w4rb8lq0hl265pekjczrjpenplrk8
must be included:
  • Heading: tbd
  • Library card (tilted at a diagonal)
    • this graphic should take up most space on the poster (use this image: https://utexas.box.com/s/nml1jrf2v0xl8ixvll5oqjhtwhwxhe9ior scan actual card, which can be found by the scanner)
  • Date (incorporate this on the library card either digitally OR using the materials Dr. Barchas provided and scanning)

must be included:
  • Heading: tbd
  • description of fundraiser: tbd
  • map graphic from indd file
    • you can keep working within this file (but know we will not be using the first page of the document), make a new indd file, or use another adobe product of your pref)
    • this graphic should take up most space on the poster
  • 20 roman numeral numbered circle labels that correspond with this pdf document: https://utexas.box.com/s/zcmjktgoe1f4gv12j2q1ajxw7fsxgk52
    • you can keep the design of the labels that are already in that indd file to save time–just move them & change them to roman numerals
    • Note for label 9 on the pdf: it will need to be placed below the original “1” label, not in the trees
  • logo: https://utexas.box.com/s/wm3xee4bqv4bysaikpcmb170gqpwxj6a
  • keep the Jane Austen quotes but change placement, remove all other text that corresponds with the key

 

 

Note: I really enjoyed meeting and working with Dr. Barchas! She was so passionate about this fundraiser and the project, and it was really wonderful that she was open to my design suggestions.
