My goal with this poster was to capture a cozy, playful vibe that feels like an invitation to a pet-friendly gallery show. I focused on two tumbling cats to signal fun right away and kept the layout clean so the event details stay clear. A cream-to-honey gradient sets a warm stage, while a bright honey-orange highlight on the date line draws the eye. All artwork is original vector; I used a single 1-pt charcoal stroke to keep every element consistent. The toughest part was balancing “cute” with readability—my early drafts were too busy, so I trimmed extra paw prints and recentred the text block. Next time I’d explore variable-weight lettering for the headline and add a light paper texture earlier in the process to avoid late-stage color tweaks.
