Project R.E.A.L. (a part of the Prevention Resource Network) provides young queer individuals with peer support, sexual health advocacy, and connections to resources like housing, therapy, and HIV/STD testing in Asbury Park, NJ.
They came to me in need of promotional materials for their Annual Pulse Memorial & Benefit Show, honoring the victims of the Pulse nightclub tragedy while raising awareness and funds for their LGBTQIA+ programs. I paired public domain vintage illustrations with a psychedelic-inspired font to create a retro-style poster and social kit, leaning into bold, playful visuals with a touch of oddity to perfectly capture the spirit of Pride.
