Happy Halloween! It’s that time of year again — time to share the poster I designed for Baltimore’s Occasional Symphony. I’ve had the privilege of working with OS for three years now on this creepy poster, and this year’s poster doesn’t disappoint.
If you are local and need a spooky night out tonight, check it out!
And, if you are curious, here are the posters from past years. I love how eerie they are.
The Occasional Symphony is having another concert! This time, it’s a benefit concert for Baltimore Outreach Services. I happily designed another poster for the group — much less scary than the Halloween poster.
If you are in Baltimore this Friday night and need something to do, you should definitely check them out. Peter and the Wolf is one of my favorites. I remember my dad loving the music growing up.
Anyway, the group is doing great things. It was a joy to work with them again.
Oh hey, blog! Long time, no write! We’ve been so incredibly busy this past week with Valentine’s Day and my birthday that I haven’t had time to do anything but enjoy life and celebrate! I’m not complaining 😉 It’s been a great few days.
Now back to the blog world!
I had the pleasure of designing another poster for the Occasional Symphony this month for one of their upcoming events… remember the scary one I did last year?
Totally freaky.
Well this time around, the project was a little more… colorful! The Occasional Symphony is celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday at Port Discovery in Baltimore, Md. on March 2, so needless to say they didn’t want to scare all of the kids away with that creepy guy’s face again. Some polka dots, lots of fun colors and one topsy-turvy cake later, and their poster was complete!
This poster we a lot of fun to do. The background is a solid yellow with a 15 percent tint to it. Then, I took other tints of the same yellow and did polka dots across the back. The colors are all awesome and bright — definitely eye-catching for little kiddos. And the font is an imitation Dr. Seuss font that I found online for free! #Winning. Best of all is the three-layer, topsy-turvy cake, which I designed myself in Adobe Illustrator. It is just adorable. I love it!
If you live in or around Baltimore and need something to do March 2, you’re welcome. I basically just planned your Saturday afternoon for you. The program should be awesome.
I’ve been working on a few other design projects: a logo for my bff’s chocolate business, and a whole bunch of goodies for a local non-profit. It’s been a lot of fun. I love me some graphic design!
