Näky Christmas Market

Next Saturday on the 10th of December we have the Näky Christmas Market here in Pori Puuvilla. Näky is the student association of Aalto University's Art and Media Pori department.

I was asked to create the poster for the event. As a reward I got a free market table for myself.

Here is few stages from the designing process. First I drew raw sketch where I wanted to see what would be the elements that the poster should contain.

Then I concentrated on my favorite part: creating the illustration for the poster. I drew out happy Christmas shopper -character girl.

The christmas tree I drew separately. I added the pictures later on to the ready-made poster layout playing with the sizes of the images thinking about their relation to the text.

With the background texture, the illustration and the text, the joined composition should be somewhat harmonic. All the important information, like what, where and when, should be easily spotted.

If you're around Pori area be sure to visit our fantastic Christmas Market! I'll be there selling postcards, magnets and some dyed clothes. But even more importantly I'll be there singing christmas carols and spending a lovely christmasy day! So see you next Saturday! ;)
