Display Wizard - open day designs

Within this section of research I decided to look at open day designs and promotional material, as this is the most related content to the context that I will be designing for. The banners I will be designing will already be at an open day, so will not need to advertise that there is an open day, but there could be a style of design or strong use of branding that I could be inspired by and create similar in my final designs. In this research, I decided to disregard the specified dimensions given in the brief as I am just looking at overall design style. I thought in this section I could discover what information is given, and see how people promote their university.



  • Clever isometric text and drawing style
  • Illustrations relate to 'civil engineering' open day
  • Shades of blue as colour scheme (could relate to blueprints?)





  • Consistent text feature 
  • Relevant background images
  • Clear branding
  • Simplistic style




  • Design extends across all posters
  • Bright vibrant colour scheme
  • Slight use of patterns
  • University initials used as main feature




  • Bold typeface
  • Use of edited photography where colour comes in
  • Divided layout to the top of the posters for body text and information




  • Bright vibrant colours
  • Strong use of photography and artwork 
  • Bold typeface but doesn't detract from artwork
  • However no other information given




  • Clever design style incorporating photography, illustration and play on dimensions
  • Simplistic typography 
  • Black and white colour scheme with use of other colours as background





  • Strong style across promotional material using circle
  • Strong use of text including bold statement/fact




  • Use of colour as primary style
  • Minimal text style 
  • Stylized 'Open Day' as molecule style bonds (subject could be a science open day?)



  • Neon background accompanying monochrome text
  • Overlaid text in title
  • Use of shapes and banners




  • Clever use of 3D elements within the design 
  • Yellow and white colour scheme





  • Blue and red colour scheme coupled with white
  • Bold type and strong design style, using block colours and symbols
