Multimedia Fest Poster 2

I think that this poster is very creative with the use of the hand prints which signifies art as well as student's own imagination. Our group came together to brainstorm ideas and we took several pictures to try and visualize an acceptable poster for the event. This poster represents the media part of the event with the camera as well as the art with the paint and the hand prints. Compared to the previous one, this one is more colorful and attention grabbing, while at the same time, more personalized because of the picture of Aileen taking a photograph which allows people to connect with the event more.
