The Minnesota State Fair poster has won an award

During the International Association of Fairs and Expositions Convention and Trade Show (IAFE) in Vegas. They gave out awards in several different marketing categories (social media, websites, media kits, advertising, etc.) The Minnesota State Fair won Outstanding Poster Award for 2011! The poster was judged against dozens of other large fair posters. Needless to say I'm thrilled!

Minnesota State Fair bus side ads

I was asked to come up with some illustrations to promote the Minnesota State Fair on bus sides. I was provided with the text and left to come up with the imagery. I did six in all, one will only be seen in western Wisconsin.

I met some great people through Flickr when searching for reference photos. Everyone I contacted was gracious enough to let me use their image as a base. Thanks again!

So if you are around the Twin Cities and see a bus go by, check out the ads!
