Event Poster Design and Advertising for Maker Faire Louisville
Creative Technology Showcase Promotion
Design Web Louisville created a striking poster for Maker Faire Louisville that perfectly captured the event’s innovative “Hack-the-Home” theme. The central illustration featured a humanoid robot walking a quadrupedal robot, creating an immediate visual metaphor for the intersection of home life and cutting-edge technology. This whimsical yet thought-provoking image helped convey the playful spirit of maker culture while highlighting the serious technological innovations on display.
The design employed a vibrant color palette that balanced technological precision with creative energy, using contrasting hues to make the poster pop from bulletin boards and social media feeds alike. Clear typography established event details including date, location, and ticket information, while maintaining visual hierarchy to ensure the central robot illustration remained the focal point.
In addition to the main poster, Design Web Louisville developed a cohesive advertising campaign that adapted the core visual elements for digital platforms, print advertisements, and social media assets. This consistent branding helped build anticipation for the event across multiple channels, increasing awareness and ticket sales among both the maker community and curious newcomers.
