Lewis Center for the Arts Posters
The Lewis Center for the Arts serves Princeton University through the presentation of more than 100 public performances, exhibitions, readings, film screenings and lectures. It's the job of the LCA communications department to promote these events by developing a visual identity which includes physical and digital posters. I often join graphic designer Tracy Paterson to incorporate original photography into the designs. We work with students, faculty, staff and guest artist to deliver a finished product to draw a diverse, engaged audience from the university and surrounding community. Below are a few of my favorites.
