Problem
A campus full of music clubs, so we picked a lane and owned it.

Process: the posters
From a Bloom Nightclub rave to a chill Workshop Wednesday, every event gets a face.
I design the posters and social graphics for every DVC event, and the range is wide: a massive takeover at Bloom Nightclub needs a completely different energy than a low-key Workshop Wednesday. I work across Figma, Photoshop, and Midjourney to match each event's vibe while keeping it unmistakably DVC. The test for any poster is the same as the test for the brand: does it make someone stop scrolling and decide to come.

Process: video and content
I don't just design the events, I document them.

Outcomes & reflection
The work shows up in numbers. We sold out a 500-ticket capacity for our RAVEYARD II takeover at Bloom Nightclub, grew the Instagram by 800 followers in the first month of the academic year (now at 3,700), and my Sun God Afterdark campaign alone passed 129,000 views. What I take from this is that brand and marketing aren't soft when you tie them to a goal: every poster and every Reel was pointed at a specific outcome, getting a specific crowd into a specific room, and that focus is what made the visuals work. Designing for a real audience that votes with their attendance taught me more about what good design does than any brief could.
