Bozell Poster Wins Graphis Gold

Bozell won a gold in the 2012 Graphis Poster competition and it will be featured in the 2012 poster annual. The goal was to create promotional materials to attract a young professional audience to Art on Tap – an art show with adult beverages, held at the Joslyn Art Museum. With a fairly tight budget, Bozell created posters that would be hung in establishments where young professionals frequent. However there are normally there are other posters cluttering the window or wall. So Bozell created something simple, something the audience would understand at one quick glance. Hence the paintbrush /pint glass visual. The result was the highest attendance in the event’s history.
