PDX Wordstock 2016 - Event poster

11/7/2016

Literary Arts hosts the annual Wordstock Book Festival at the Portland Art Museum. For the past two years, in partnership with the IPRC, we have supported the event with an interactive printing demonstration at the Book Fair. Their 2016 logo was a book inspired umbrella, so we made some rain using lead-type punctuation and created this fun design. It sure was raining that day, and seeing everyone's smiling faces was all we needed to get through the day. Hope to see you all there next year!
