Commissioned by Silver Wheel Cellars, a small-batch, artisanal mead and cider company based in Silver Spring, MD, I had the pleasure of designing this poster to promote their spring equinox event called Ostara. The family-friendly event focused on celebrating the changing of the seasons as well as music and art within the community. The entire design, including the illustration and typography, was hand-drawn and digitally rendered within Adobe Illustrator. I wanted to capture the whimsical nature of both the venue and the spring season, which is why I chose to feature a botanical faerie sitting on a mushroom surrounded by creatures and critters in a forest. The poster was used to promote the event in print and digital platforms in the months leading up to the event and a limited number of prints were sold at the event. The event organizers, community and venue collectively made it a truly magical and memorable occasion.
