Project 03 - Event Poster

The guidelines for this project are to create an 11x17 poster for an event recently attended or happening in the near future. Some of my ideas for an event are:

• Cheetah Girls (TOO OLD)
• Gwen Stefani (TOO OLD)
• No Doubt
• Blink 182
• Grant Park Tour of Homes
• Wicked

As much as I want to do Wicked for my event, I worry that I won't be able to get away from their current, and very successful poster. I really like the poster they have now and it is a bold move to try to make a new one, especially when I see nothing wrong with the first.

I really enjoyed the Tour of Homes event also but I was NOT a fan of their program. I did not like the look of the poster, and I even remember wanting to offer to make their posters and some imaging for them next year if I decide to volunteer for this again.
