Competition guidelines / design brief

DGC Dance is a community of passionate K-Pop dancers and we run fun, friendly & relaxed K-Pop dance classes in central London with regular student dance showcases.

For this competition, you need to create a poster that will be used primarily in digital format on our website, social media (e.g. Instagram & Facebook) and sent to our mailing list. Target audience is fans of K-Pop and dance and the performers’ family and friends.

For the poster you need to:
– capture the sense of the fun, friendly & relaxed atmosphere of the DGC community, classes & shows
– choose a good combination of typography, colours (& optionally any photos) which make the text clear & clean so it’s easy to read
– use all lowercase for the website address

The poster must include the following details (event name, event description, venue, date & website address):
