About the Workshop
Design your own K-Pop–inspired poster using bold cut-out collage techniques! In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore poster design principles while creating a dynamic, letter-size poster inspired by their favorite K-Pop group or artist.
Using colorful paper, cellophane, stickers, and drawing tools, participants will experiment with composition, typography, imagery, and visual hierarchy to express their personal style. The workshop concludes with a fun gallery walk, where everyone can share and appreciate each other’s creations.
