7th Digital Arts: "The Wiz" Musical Posters

Our class will work on designing posters/flyers for the CMS fall musical "The Wiz." You can use either Photoshop or Illustrator when designing your posters. Please complete the research with a partner, but design on your own. The top designs will be chosen to be copied and put up all over Columbia Heights schools and businesses.

Research
