FINAL POSTER DESIGN FOR 2011

The final revisions to the colors have been made.

We worked hard on fine tuning everything and believe we have successfully achieved a nice retro look and feel with good contrast and balance.

We added the 10 year history above to show how this years unique design fits into the flow.

REVISED FINAL POSTER DESIGN #2b

CLIENT REQIESTED REVISIONS:

Lighten the green a smidgen in the top to bottom stripe

Darken the typewriter a little more

DESIGNER COMMMENTS:

All of the reds are the same (it is an illusion if they look different).

We also slightly brightened the yellow as we felt it was a little muddy looking. We also added a touch of glow to the blue elements within the yellow fields for a little more pop.

We revised THE 23RD ANNUAL IBPA to be the yellow color in the oval with dark blue in the type. This spreads the yellow around the design as requested and we also like how it ties all the IBPA elements together.
