This is a promotional poster design for the Des Moines National Poetry Festival. The different styles of typography used in the logo represent both the traditional and contemporary aspects of poetry; the sonnet versus the poetry slam, and the idea that the two are one and the same.
The background book texture represents the ancient tradition that is poetry, and an original poem gives further texture to the page. The color scheme is fun and inviting, and easily grabs the attention of passers-by.
