Eastern Maine Community College Pride Week Project Overview
I would like to begin my summary of this project by crediting the designer of the EMCC Logo.
For the EMCC Pride 2024 project, my task was to design a dynamic flyer to promote the series of events celebrating LGBTQ+ pride on campus. The goal was to create an eye-catching visual piece that encapsulated the spirit of inclusivity and celebration. Additionally, the school asked for a Facebook and Instagram post to use for promotional purposes.
The project involved designing an 8.5x11" flyer in CMYK format, featuring the event dates from April 22 to 26 and incorporating the EMCC Pride logo. The centerpiece of the flyer was the keynote event, "All Things Under the Rainbow," a workshop led by Autumn Mallett, advisor to EMCC's LGBTQIA student club, aimed at educating and supporting LGBTQ+ students and community members.

Facebook Post in Landscape format (940 x 788 px)
It took a couple of tries to get it right! This is my second attempt which still needed some edits. In this second attempt, I'm particularly pleased with how the phrase 'Under The Rainbow' stands out – a shift from my initial concept where it circled the logo upside down.
This was my first attempt at designing the Pride poster. However, the school decided they wanted more information added to the flyer, so this design didn't make the cut.
