Banners

Each poster posed a question or statement about design research. The viewer had to walk to the other side in order to read the response on the other side. The action increased the visitor’s engagement with the DAAP space.

The posters were prepped and printed in DAAP's print lab then suspended from ceilings throughout the building for the weeks leading up to the conference.
