Posters for The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Alumni Show

The two above images are posters I created for an upcoming gallery show at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. The show will feature a body of work from recent alumni. I wanted to create a poster with imagery that encompasses the vast array of talents featured within the show from a number of different majors that AIP has to offer, hence the variety of icons that make up much of the poster.

For the first poster I wanted to have something that stood out. Instead of using the school’s typical colors I chose to go with something a little more diverse, with more contrast, darks, mediums, and light colors. With the second poster (bottom) I went with a more subdued layout and color palette with the icons acting as a background to bring more direct attention to the text. The classy center graphic was created by Mark Saville who also produced a number of posters and imagery to promote the show. 

I still have a few more signage pieces that I will be working on before the shows reception date which I will have posted here in the coming weeks as well as some other projects that are slowly but surely coming together.
