Posters for Cultural Affairs

Here is the collection of posters that I made for Cultural Affairs. The first one is "Whispering 'Black'" which was a talk about underlying racism. The second poster was "An Evening with Rahul Mehta" which was a visiting talk with a writer local to Alfred.

The next collection of posters is for the upcoming "Tunnel of Oppression" which is an event collaborated between six clubs on the Alfred State campus, each club has their own theme in the event.

The last one so far is "The Aegis Project" poster, it is an event to educate women about emotional, physical and sexual abuse.

Tutorials

This semester I am working for Cultural Affairs at Alfred State. My main job is making posters for special event on Alfred Sponsored by Cultural Affairs. However when ever work is a bit slow I have been practicing in photoshop using photoshop poster tutorials that I have found surfing the internet. Here are all examples of the tutorials I have done so far together with the original. The ones I made come before the originals.

What I have learned from doing these tutorials is how to better utilize photoshop layer effects and photoshop filters. I have also learned some photoshop shortcuts from the tutorials. Also I have learned quite a bit about poster design in general.

Though I would have to say one thing that really bothered me about the tutorials was that many of them requested that you get source images from royalty free websites you must pay to use. Many of them I am not a member of. Basically I had to substitute some source images with ones that I could find with the help of google, The images that I collected from there I only planned to use for these exercises.
