Challenge — Create an event poster and social posts based on a zombie-themed prom
Concept — This year’s Prom landed on the second spookiest night of the year, Friday the 13th and leaned heavily into Halloween and specifically undead visuals, complete with a graveyard, headstone, and zombie hand reaching out of the grave.
I was greatly inspired by Halloween and horror-based simplistic designs, such as the designs above.
From initial sketch to final poster you can see a clear through-line with much of the composition remaining the same, with a few illustrative and content tweaks.

Challenge — Create an event poster and social posts based on a 70s Western-themed prom
Concept — 2022’s debut Kat King Prom was presented as a place all folx were welcome with the chosen 70s Western theme. With this in mind I created a keystone poster visual of a dancing hairy-legged and free person wearing gogo boots with spurs, and inspired by vintage neon signs.
I was inspired by fluid moving characters with dramatic proportions and angles, as well as simplistic color pallets and neon signs on dark backgrounds since Prom is a party held at night.
Initial concepts both included dancing characters, but we chose the more simplistic bold option for its punchiness.
