Selwyn College Snowball

The Selwyn snowball is the only annual winter ball in Cam- bridge, it gathers around 800 students every year to celebrate the end of Michaelmas term. As head of decorations, I designed the logo and the poster for the event. The theme, ‘Into the Woods’, sought to transform the college into an enchanted forest for the evening. To convey that feeling, I transformed the college chapel into a tree in a simple stylized manner for the logo. The poster starts from the same idea but is hand drawn for a fairytale effect. The dark foreground, the winding path and the lit door of the chapel all invite the viewer ‘into the woods’.
