Scoring a talk from George Lois while he was in town for an expensive design conference, GRIP was able to provide a free event for student designers hungry for inspiration but low on funds. Almost resembling sporting event materials, these promo pieces speak to their intended audience in an everyman’s vernacular. Root for the underdog!

Project Description
Posters were put up in the halls and postcards were handed out at OCAD University the day before the event. Students were asked to RSVP to the event via Twitter to secure their space which was limited. Upon arrival, all attendees outside of GRIP were given a bookmark / prize ticket with pre-punched numbers 001 to 100.Production Lesson(s)
Considering our challenges concerning speed and cost, our Production Director suggested we print using a work-and-turn method. By using one stock of paper we were able to place multiple pieces up on one sheet, front and back, using one plate only speeding up our production time and keeping cost low.
