Create a striking exhibition poster

As the art editor of Computer Arts Collection, I’m responsible for the design of a lot of marketing and promotional materials related to the magazine. These can range from display ads in magazines to promotional booklets, web banner ads, stickers, and anything and everything in-between. As time has gone on, I’ve found that good asset management can not only streamline your workflow, but also make the realisation of a consistent, overall aesthetic for a campaign much easier.

In this tutorial I’ll run through the creation of a poster for an imaginary exhibition called Sirens, covering the creation of a simple logotype and grid, use of typography, image editing and pattern creation, and how all of these elements can easily be managed and rolled out across a range of collateral.
