Garage Sale

poster design
event organisation

Having just graduated in summer 2023, I had moved back to my homecity. As the summer was coming close to an end and I was decluttering my room, I looked at the amount of unused and unwanted items I had and thought to myself: why not just get rid of them? Maybe someone else will make a good use of these things?Following these thoughts, an idea to organise a garage sale was born.

Design decisions

I wanted the poster to achieve the following – for it to be inclusive, family friendly and promoting sense of community.

Inclusive – adding the English translation allowed to reach those parts of the community that can be excluded due to language barrier

Family friendly – keeping the colour palette vibrant and using characters without their age clearly defined evoked a sense of family friendliness of the event

Promoting sense of community – drawing two characters holidng one item and adding a caption: enjoy your new items together highlights the idea of the event which is centred around strenghtening community by exchanging items one with another.
