Event Artwork

Hairspray screening poster

We’re proud to have been a presenting sponsor of FilmOutSD’s screening of HAIRSPRAY (1988)! In addition to sponsoring the screening, we also had the privilege of designing the original poster for the event, marrying the 1988 poster artwork with FilmOut SD’s signature branding. An event poster requires a design that communicates a lot of important information as quickly as possible, so we used proper contrast, dynamic angles, and appropriate hierarchy to get the job done right.
