The Midway!

Texas State Fair Midway

The first poster was supposed to emphasize the uniqueness and rare fun of eating "fair foods" most especially the unique fried specialties. The second poster design should center on the marvelous "MIDWAY". The carnival atmosphere of the Midway is energized and very exciting, especially at night. All of the bright lights, colors, and colorful characters make the Midway what it is. How can you show the Midway to be a fun and exciting place to be?

The poster should reflect the fun of the Midway and also communicate why being at the TEXAS STATE FAIR Midway is particularly special.

Next piece due: State Fair Foods poster design

Please look at this poster design:

This poster was designed to promote the NY State Fair. One aspect of their poster is the "restaurant row", where "FRIED IS AN OFFICIAL FOOD GROUP". I like that tag line, and so I think that I would like to have you all include that somewhere on your poster design.

What do you think of the branding that this state fair has done? Can you figure out a way to use your ideas in a similarly successful way?

Discussion to occur during class...
