Both Feet was a two-part talk with Craig Welsh and Nicholas Stover that took place at Kutztown University. A poster was needed that would pop off the cluttered walls of the university's event boards. Metallic gold ink on black paper was the solution.

Production Lesson(s)

We needed to keep plenty of gold ink on the press to insure the type shined nice and bright.
