What do fortune cookies, binoculars, and Ipads have in
common?
They are all featured on The COMMference 2012 posters! The posters have been ordered and should be fresh off the press and hanging in Barnett early next week…
When I started designing the posters, I thought they would
have more to do with identity than the future. When Sara and I first started
thinking about the COMMference, we thought a lot about how people always
identify you by your major, “what’s your major” is one of the first questions
you ask anyone at Truman…
But then we realized that as we thought more about our own
futures in the real world, we had no idea what to expect and the COMMference
serves as a sneak peak into both the Communication department and the real world.
We moved away from Truman identity
and more in future identity.
I started the designs with all kinds of future telling
devices: magic 8 balls, fortune cookies, crystal balls, and tarot cards…After
some deliberating with Dr. Y & Sara we decided that three difference modes
of determining what’s coming next would be better.
These bright posters were the result of making hours spent
staring at and illustrating my hands and some strategic google image
searches. I am excited to see it
all coming together with the event coming up so soon.
Also, we have had so much support from student media and
communication organizations. Our $0 budget has quickly been increased with much
needed help! THANKS EVERYONE.
