Spectrum 22 Call for Entries poster to be created by Victo Ngai!
Victo was featured in Forbes “30 under 30” this year and has received multiple Ozzie awards and awards from the Society of Illustrators among many others.
Spectrum Director John Fleskes has given Victo no parameters for the execution of the poster, “I wanted to give Victo full freedom to express herself. I’ve left the theme, style, and subject matter entirely up to Victo, knowing that she'll do an amazing job and create a true work of beauty.” So we’re excited to see what the artist creates!
