The Poster was designed following the brief of a traditional Christmas Carol Concert poster  with modern elements, the colour scheme mixes the charity's well known red with blues and whites allowing for a snowy Christmas feel the layout follows the brand guidelines created for the charity by myself for use across all public facing output. As the charity works with children an element of playfulness is achieved with the inclusion of Santa hats and Rudolph antlers on a couple of the letters.

At the base of the poster I have used negative space to suggest grass, The design also features two ladybirds sitting on both the letter G and atop the box containing the main event details they look toward each other as if they are engaged in conversation at a party. I have included a QR code at the bottom of the poster linking to a map allowing people to receive directions to the event using their smartphone.

Designed to promote a charity event centred around the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations at Wistow Rural Centre in Leicestershire this poster uses the instantly recognisable Union Jack flag as its background. The Flag`s famous lines are echoed by the use of a simple sans serif typeface and patriotic colour scheme of Red, White, Blue & Yellow (standing in for gold in this instance).The type is centre aligned with a crown at the top in a deliberate nod toward the modern resurgence of the Keep Calm And Carry On posters.The Campaign saw this poster reproduced in a number of sizes from A5 through to A3 & displayed in a number of locations around the local area of Wistow, A simple easy to read style was needed that could be easily reproduced across the various sizes without loosing the message.

This Poster was designed by me for The Oadby & Wigston Diamond Jubilee Charity Show held at Parklands Leisure Centre in Oadby during the Queens Diamond Jubilee year of 2012. The design takes its inspiration in equal measures from the music hall posters of the past and from the famous Keep Calm And Carry On posters of wartime Britain, This style allows for lots of information to be displayed in a small amount of space whilst not being overly complicated for the viewer to read. The poster uses a Red, White & Blue colour scheme appropriate for the subject matter and features the Union Jack flag repeated in these colours as a border.

The event will raise much needed funds for local charity's Menphys and the Oadby & Wigston Branch of Age UK.
