D and AD North Poster

Over the weekend I've been working on a couple of A1 posters to enter for the D&AD North Poster Competition.

This was some information we got in the brief...

Event title: D&AD North Lecture 3: GBH are 12

Multi-Award winning Design & Advertising agency GBH talk about a dozen of their most important projects to celebrate their 12th birthday. As well as a show and tell of some of their diverse work for Puma, Eurostar, Royal Mail, SLS Hotels, Virgin Galactic, Land Securities, and others, GBH have devised a new kind of Q&A. Each audience member takes part in a giant raffle, where GBH artifacts from projects past and present are the reward for randomly selected questions.



POSTER 1




So for one poster I decided to focus on the fact that it was their birthday, and thought I'd bake them a cake that would be fitting of D and AD to make them! (for the non designers out there, D&AD are famous for giving away yellow pencils as design awards).. I then used the light of a candle to create the text below.

The text at the bottom reads:

"To celebrate their 12th Birthday, multi award winning design & advertising agency GBH talk about
 a dozen of their most important projects. And to help them celebrate we baked them a cake. Aren't 
we nice.

"For a slice of the action (but sorry not the cake), and a chance to win some genuine GBH artifacts, don't miss out on this lecture."





POSTER 2








For this poster I concentrated on the theme of the Q&A raffle, and turned the D&Ad logo into the side of a raffle drum. The dotted lines hint at a tear off raffle strip down one side.

The text at the bottom reads :

"AS IF OUR LECTURE ALONE WAS NOT ENOUGH OF A DRAW, YOU COULD WIN WIN WIN IN OUR Q&A RAFFLE.

"Award winning Design & Advertising agency GBH talk about a dozen of their most important projects to celebrate their 12th birthday. As well as a show and tell of some of their diverse work, GBH have devised a new kind of giant Q&A raffle. And if you're lucky enough to have your question picked out, you could win some genuine GBH artifacts from projects past and present!"
