Pop ArtEveryday things, shouted.

One iconic object blown up to fill the page, outlined in thick black and filled with flat primaries and Ben-Day dots.

A good fit for

Retro dance parties, comic and zine fairs, and playful fundraisers.

A little art direction

Name one everyday object in the illustration notes and let it be the whole poster. Short punchy event names work best; a speech bubble can carry a date but not a paragraph.
