First Thursday Poster Designs for February

This week I had to finish up a poster design for First Thursday in Windsor, Connecticut. My client is the Windsor Chamber of Commerce and the goal was to showcase the stores while informing viewers of the great prizes the businesses were offering.

I decided to go with a fun and playful design - I used a cartoon boy preparing valentines for one, and then showcased the chocolate pearls being raffled off in the other. The chamber ultimately went with the chocolate pearl poster and I understand why; it adds a bit of context and visual appeal to the prizes.

The stereotypical pinks and purples are reminiscent of Valentines day. Light and colorful was the goal.
