STA Roster Poster

Thuy and I are making the STA poster for the semester. The brief is to fit the theme of “champions” and include ~35 headshots and names of each STA. The first thing I thought of for “champions” was designs of vintage Olympic graphics. Thuy was inspired by retro movie poster/ad designs, so because they both draw from a similar time era our ideas have been easy to mesh.

 

Right now I’m illustrating pictures to represent each team (audio, graphics, video, project management) inspired by graphics from the Helsinki Olympics. I’m taking the illustrative feeling and colors from the poster, while adding some more ~retro~ style hashmarks and shading. I’m not a big digital illustrator but it’s fun using the tablet! Thuy is working on the typography and we’ll do formatting together.
