    uniE621 Devils Peak Poster
    This project was part of the third-year curriculum at the Open Window Institute. The aim was to create a poster for four different events/campaigns, using various illustration and typography techniques. I had to choose four clients from a list of options and design a poster that reflects the identity and message of each client. I chose Devil’s Peak as my client for this project: I used a combination of digital and traditional tools, such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, printmaking, and hand-drawing.I found this project to be challenging and enjoyable, but also very time-consuming. The student learned a lot about the different clients, their target audiences, and their visual identities. I also experimented with different illustration and typography techniques, and discovered new ways of creating and communicating images. I enjoyed playing with the different illustrated types for this project, such as textured letters for Devil’s Peak. I also found printmaking to be extremely fun and useful for creating organic images, such as the mountain and the beer bottle for Devil’s Peak. #printmaking #illustrator #graphicdesigner #designer #marketing
