  • Cinnamon @ Off The Cuff
    Cinnamon @ Off The CuffEvent poster / Facebook banner for latest Cinnamon event. For this project I directed a vision of how we wanted artwork to Betty. Efficient dialogue and Betty's expertise in illustration birthed one of my favourite Cinnamon posters. The night itself went on to be our most successful night, achieved through further promotional tactics, efficient organisation and effective communication, on top of the initial attraction of the poster itself.
