Krunked | AIGA Event Poster

01 : Krunked 2008 AIGA Winston-Salem Poster

This poster was done in Illustrator using gradient meshes as well as other effects to create textures such as glass, metal and wooden handles.

The event was the equivalent to Charlotte's Meet Market where local designers chat about art and design. It was also used as a platform to plan ahead for future events like sharing speakers that traveled to Charlotte like Debbie Millman and Stefan Sagmeister.

The concept was a play on the the venue's name and urban slang except that krunked meant — in this case— drinking an excess of coffee. Also a homage to tobacco town. We wanted to give the people an option to be caffeinated before some more evening work or unwind at the end of the day with a beer and light fare. Thus the bean and hops imagery to reflect the drink options.
