Description

The goal of this brochure was to attract professionals to a series of lectures by well-known people in advertising and design. It takes the series theme —Where is advertising and design headed?—and gives it an ironic spin, creating a crank—prophet figure to announce the event in apocalyptic terms. The text within is clean and classically simple, with just the odd typographic joke.
