In January 2025, I began designing the official flyers for the monthly Game Night events at Farewell Coffee & Booze in Kansas City, MO. Given the frequency of the events, these flyers usually have a pretty short turnaround, and it's been a fun challenge to design these quickly and efficiently while also striving to do something completely new each and every month.
With the nature of the event and the target demographic in mind, I often find myself including visual references to video game culture and in-jokes as well as popular internet memes.
I also occasionally draw inspiration from more unexpected sources, such as vintage boxing flyers—a nod to the fighting games that are most often played at these events—and '90s / '00s technology (believe it or not, nearly all of the games played at these tournaments are played on old school CRT TVs).
