Graphics: Christie Hefner Lecture Poster

Publicity Poster for Christie Hefner's Lecture on November 4, 2009 at Syracuse University

I was asked to create a poster for Christie Hefner, former CEO of Playboy Enterprises, Inc., when she came to speak at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. The use of the iconic Playboy logo was a no-brainer and since Christie was speaking about her time as the company's CEO I thought a business motif incorporating a stock page would work well graphically. The posters certainly attracted a great deal of attention - some were stolen, probably bound for dorm room walls, and others were vandalized by people upset that Christie had been invited to campus. The black and grey colorway was the only one printed though I'm still a bit partial to the pink and magenta incarnation.
