One event that almost every city in just about every country shares is some type of annual festival. They come for a day maybe a week to spread their fun and joy and then they disappear until the following season. As a patron to many local festivals throughout my life, I’ve always been impressed with the posters designed to spread the word about these events. They’re typically full of beautiful color and typography designed to grab your attention while also providing details about the upcoming festivities.
