I loved the challenge of visualizing how I could make the trolley problem into an enticing poster. After creating the main poster, I designed separate posters for each guest speaker. I masked the background with a paper texture to add dimension. 

Since Burgo’s headshot had a lower resolution, I needed to make the image of the other guest speakers’ smaller as well. Moving forward, I would make a separate graphic for the guest speaker posters to match the presentation dimensions.
