Poster for a school concert, 2004

The first thing I ever designed was a poster for the school concert in the 11th class. I did it on the school computer with a program I did not know, I used nine fonts. Nine. The director said it was "lively".

I still have it. It is the worst poster in the history of Talas, and 400 people came.

What it taught me, years late: people come for the concert, not for the poster. The poster only has to get out of the way.
