Po sters are a vital and economical method of branding and promoting an eve nt or a business. Posters act to both build public awareness in an orga nic &\; human way while also acting to reinforce and remind the publi c of your project. Posters after all\, are the oldest form of advertisi ng\, arguably as old as hieroglyphics and are still used today for one r eason…they work.* \;\n \;\n*Secret Knowledge of Poster Design\, ta ught by Noah Kleiman\, shares tricks to free and basic design applicatio ns and programs\; and will teach you to make a professional-quality desi gn. Whether you are producing an event or are a business owner\, I high ly recommend this workshop to anyone who is interested in taking over th e world DIY style or at the least\, spreading awareness of your project in and around Portland\, Oregon.* \;\n \;\n*Take this class!* \;\n \;\nTamara J.
