Poster for Sixth Annual Celebration of Black Writing

The client wanted a colorful poster that reflected the African heritage of his audience.  I researched images I thought appropriate, and finally settled on the conjurer woman, the snake, the antelope, and the zigzag textile border, all against the night sky.  This poster won a Certificate of Excellence from the American Institute of Graphic Arts, was included in the 1991 Communication Graphics show, and was published in Graphic Design USA:12, the annual of the AIGA.  Designed for Moonstone, Inc., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as a project of the Institute for Publications Design; I served as Art Director, Designer, and Illustrator; January 1990.
