3. What makes a Squadron Poster? TravelAdventureBeauty We create posters featuring iconic skylines and landmarks…Of course, McChord AFB isn’t in Seattle but if you’re stationed there, your adventure surely involves the Space Needle! This is what makes Squadron Posters different–it’s about remembering where you’ve lived and what you’ve seen with a vintage-themed travel poster. 2 Let’s make artwork so beautiful you’ll hang it in your living room!

4. Do’s 3 SP 2. Tips 4. The Napkin Drawing 5. Your Design Elements 6. Complete! 1. Overview Think about the travel and adventure that makes your poster unique. Use themes such as “visit”, “come see” or any other clever or creative idea you can come up with! Keep it clean and simple Look at your favorite designs, less is more! Be open to colors outside of a blue sky, green trees, and gray aircraft (this is a photograph)…vintage prints are about unique color! Show this to anyone in the approval process (i.e, your commander) before submitting it to our artists. Dont’s We strongly suggest limiting patches to 2 or less Don’t cram too many aircraft onto a poster. It looks crowded & just plane bad (no pun intended) Don’t try to make everyone in your organization happy (it’s impossible!) Try not to focus on base buildings, instead focus on the experience around the base. Don’t make the audience too narrow Most issues revolve around requesting too much on one poster (keep it simple!) 3. About Your Org What not to do: What to do:
