SADAH Artisan Craft Fair

I created designs for the 2026 SADAH Artisan Craft Fair, in collaboration with my friend running the fair. I helped to unify the design and create a memorable identity for the fair.

Created in Adobe Illustrator.

Spring 2026 Original Design

This was the original design for the Spring 2026 poster. Here is how I evaluated the original design when considering my approach:

Pros
- Vibrant red color choice makes the poster stand out
- Flower vector graphics feel impactful and memorable

Cons
- Red/orange gradient creates a digital feel - might not be the best fit for a fine arts poster
- Black text on red background is hard to read
- Flowers don't feel intentionally placed
- Confusing call-to-action

Fall 2026 Original Design

This was the original design for the Fall 2026 poster. Here is how I evaluated the original design when considering my approach:

Pros
- Background grid is interesting
- QR code and clear call-to-action are present

Cons
- Bright green is not very readable, and won't print accurately

I was taking a printmaking class at the time, so I was inspired by printmaking techniques. To achieve the final look, I used the screen blending mode, texture overlays, and the roughness effect in Adobe Illustrator on text. I also re-used the shape of the main text as a background, thinking of the shape as a paper stencil and recalling "ghost prints" used during gel plate monoprinting.
