Poster Design and Print 1-on-1 Not 101, 1-on-1. We are inviting only 12 people to a night with Draplin and Mama. We’ll choose a poster theme and then you’ll learn how to concept and idea and design a poster. Tips and tricks from Draplin will include:
01. Poster Design:
6:30 pm - 8:30 pm.
Each attendee will design an element for the poster, and then see how Draplin builds those elements out into one poster design.
Ideation for Poster Creation:
Attendees will participate in ideation w/ Draplin and then sketch their elements. We'll then race to get them ready vectorized and and ready to be assembled into a one-of-a-kind 2-color screen printed poster.
Tips, Tricks, Techniques:
And along the way, Draplin will show tips, tricks, techniques, tales, threats of how he works to make the things he makes.
