Business Card>Public Transit Ad & Clothing Item


You may have noticed many different adaptations of a similar design during the Vancouver Olympics 2010. I want you to 1st explore and research how the designers tranfered the design concepts through out the various venues. Collect 5+ different Olympic design variations.
Next, I want you to re-visit your business card design and tranfer that idea to different formats. For this design project, adapt your favourite business card design to fit 2 other promotional spaces- Public Transit Ad and T-shirt.

  1. The Public Transit Ad
  2. Clothing Item (t-shirt, hat, hoodie...)

The Servant of Two Masters Poster Design












Hey Designers-
We have been given a job! The poster for the drama production of The Servants of Two Masters. I underestimated our time though. I was trying to allow you to complete your business cards and then start the poster, but we are taking too long. So we must interrupt the business cards and design the poster and we only have three days. It is from the 20s era, so we have to look into " art deco" designs

So I want to break up the design into 4 or 5 parts 2 to 3 students working on each part:
  1. Border- Seomi, Susie
  2. Flapper-girl in caricature- KyuRi
  3. Silhouettes of men in top hats behind girl- Maria, YeJi
  4. Title- Marissa, Jill, Erin
  5. Supporting text- Ann, DaHae
  6. Art Deco-rative Graphics- JiYoung, Tyler

Consider art deco style text, illustrations, and graphics. It is a very distinct era.
