    uniE608 Promotional Posters for Events
    For this project, I created a cohesive visual campaign for Blue Valentines, designing a series of promotional social media posts and printed posters. The goal was to capture the emotional depth and unique mood of the event while ensuring eye-catching and shareable graphics that resonate with the audience. Using a mix of bold typography and expressive imagery, I crafted designs that balanced elegance with contemporary appeal. Each piece was optimized for different platforms, ensuring visual consistency across Instagram, Facebook, and physical spaces. The project strengthened my skills in layout design, brand consistency, and digital marketing visuals, while allowing me to explore emotional storytelling through graphic design.
