monthly study group

Made two cute posters for the Youth Group's monthly study group sessions.

Did You Know posters

And they are up! There are 28 in total.

Exhbit-B - Behind the scenes

Because the focus of the conference is on education, we created an extra side exhibition based on understanding how much work is involved in creating the conference. We wanted transparency so participants can see that there is more than just speakers and performers coming up on stage on time and that their subdivisions could host a conference if they wanted to too.

In order to be brief and succinct, I was only able to list out major departments on why they are important and their main tasks and/or difficulties. Originally, if given more space, I would have pinned real objects, photos, and drafts of proposals stacked in a pile. 

original space, then cut down in half..

Did you Know?

This is a series of posters titled, Did you know? containing interesting facts about Buddhism or BLIA or YAD. The idea was initiated by the fact that the dining hall has Chinese calligraphy paintings on the walls and many of the participants cannot read Chinese, so we were to make an English replacement for the walls that would be equally interesting for them to read.

The difficulty here was finding a font that would be appropriate and easy to read. The poster is placed fairly high up and the text varies in length.

In the end, due to the fact that the English language takes up 2x the space that Chinese characters do, we doubled the width of the posters and added some colour to make it look less serious and more fun.

IBLYARC Poster

They decided that they wanted to get their word out there as fast as possible, so a quick poster was drafted and sent to all subdivisions in North America. Originally meant to be a quick poster to disseminate information to local youth groups the deadline kept getting pushed and it ended up taking months before we were able to send it out. Although not within my plans, the logo, too, was eventually derived from the poster.

and yes, I'm swamped.

Summer events poster, Mealserving Info Brochure

Although this was via voluntary basis, it has proved to be a good opportunity for me to learn inDesign (which is still more frustrating than fun) and Illustrator. Here are a few posters. One was for summer events, and I did three out of six. I only posted the three I did. The second is a brochure about Buddhist food etiquette. enjoy!
