Content: Cool Beans. Gnarly. Rad. This poster series was created around the Bringin’ Back The 80’s Festival that takes place annually in Frakenmuth, MI. The project objectives were to pick any event in Michigan and create a poster series surrounding that event. It was suggested to do the poster series on an event you had attended, but being from Ohio originally; I decided to go with a Michigan event I would really like to attend.

Process: The process of this project was a bit different for me. Due to getting COVID, the majority of this project was completed out of my bedroom rather than in a classroom setting. I knew how important it was to still stay on task and complete my work as I would for class time. Thanks to Zoom, Miro & Professor, the project went very well.

Takeaways: A takeaway from this project was creating a relationship between design by hand and design on the computer. The main takeaways of this project was translatng the grit of my hand collages into my final poster set.
