Computer Science Promo Posters
What I Used
Illustrator
Used to build both posters from scratch, including the mouse silhouette, circuit forms, layered text, and typographic layout.
Color Theory
Used bold, high-contrast palettes (yellow/black and green/black/white) to evoke energy, urgency, and digital complexity while maintaining readability.
About the Posters
For this project, I designed two promotional posters for TMCC’s Computer Science department, each exploring different approaches to communication: one expressive and one minimal. The expressive piece is a chaotic, energetic celebration of coding culture, using type as texture to form circuits, code, and abstract patterns. Elements like “BOOLEAN” and binary code are repeated to evoke the fast-paced logic of programming, while layering and glitch-style text build visual tension. The poster doesn’t just inform, it immerses the viewer in the digital world. The contrasting minimal piece, Get a BYTE of Knowledge, uses a single yellow field, a computer mouse silhouette, and distressed type to deliver a more playful and approachable tone. A visual pun on “byte” invites viewers into the subject without intimidation. Both posters aim to make Computer Science feel more accessible to students new to the field. Through this project, I explored how typography, layout, and contrast can transform a single message to speak to different mindsets, from curious beginners to those drawn to complexity and experimentation.
