During my association with the Spring Fest design team, we churned out a huge number of posters throughout the years 2010-2013. These are a few posters from the same set. I started learning Photoshop and illustrator in June 2011. These posters are not only milestones in my journey with the team but also an indicator of how I've grown as a graphic artist.

The publicity poster for SF 2011. As the theme for the edition was horror, there was a dark theme in all the posters.The purpose of the poster was to inform colleges about the events and the grand prizes the fest had to offer. This was put up in over 160 colleges all over the nation. This also served as the newspaper ad in The Telegraph.

The freshers poster is the first SF poster of any academic year. The posters are put up all over the IIT campus, and the purpose is to introduce SF to the first years. The poster needs to be lively and address what SF stands for. The same was also used for the 72mm color slide advertisement before all movies in Cinemax cinemas for over 2 weeks before the fest.

This probably is the most critical poster for the fest as Star-nights are the major attractions. Featuring concerts by famous Indian and International bands and artists, the attendance at a star night has gone up to 18000.

The same poster was used as a newspaper ad and as the event backdrop at most of the events listed in it.
