Footloose Reimagined

This poster was a part of a design challenge I participated in. We were to redesign an 80's movie poster or a more recent movie poster in a completely original concept that looks like something you might see in the 80's. Footloose just came to mind while I was thinking of what I wanted to do.This design won an Honourable Mention in the 2016 Muse Creative Awards. http://www.curioos.com/product/print/footloose-reimagined

The Division Poster Design

A poster design I made as a surprise for a friend based on a Facebook group he created called The Synnie Squad. It's about Synesthesia which is a neurological condition that causes a combined sensory reaction like being able to "see" sound or perceiving letters and numbers as having colours. The group is for serious discussion but also has a slight role playing side to it. This design won an Honourable Mention in the 2016 Muse Creative Awards.

Victoria BC – May 13, 2016. Out of more than 1,200 submissions from 33 countries, independent graphic designer, Teresa Cowley from Victoria BC, has won Honourable Mention recognition in the 2016 Muse Creative Awards competition.

Entries in 128 categories were rated according to rigorous standards. During blind judging, the panelists worked to identify the most innovative and creative concepts, the strongest executions, and the highest quality in messaging. Winners were selected in a broad scope of categories, from broadcast and print to social media and emerging platforms.

This image shows a woman standing indoors with her face obscured by a large, red stamp-like overlay that reads "EXPOSED" in capital letters. Below the word, there's an additional message that says "WE ARE LOOKING FOR AMBASSADORS DM US TO APPLY" in white lettering against a semi-transparent black background. The woman appears to be dressed formally, indicated by a black garment and a pearl necklace. The environment suggests an indoor setting with soft lighting and a blurred background, in a room with a window to her left. The image is part of a blog post exposing the Juno Valentina ambassador scam on Instagram and warns against getting involved.
