Designing a Dynamic Flyer for an Introductory Acro Yoga Workshop

Introduction

Bringing Movement to Design

For this project, I created a flyer that captures the energy and excitement of an Introductory Acro Yoga Workshop. The goal was to design a visually engaging piece that effectively conveys the essence of the event while integrating expressive typography and dynamic elements.



Concept & Inspiration

Acro yoga is a practice that blends acrobatics, yoga, and trust-based movement. To reflect this, I wanted to use:

  • Bold typography that conveys movement and balance.
  • A strong focal image showcasing an acro yoga pose.
  • A rich color palette to create a sense of energy and professionalism.
  • Decorative elements, like stars and gradients, to make the flyer feel engaging.

I took inspiration from existing event posters but customized the design to emphasize the unique characteristics of acro yoga.

Design Process

  1. Typography Selection

    • "ACRO YOGA" is styled in a bold, uppercase font to emphasize the strength and balance required for the practice.
    • The supporting text is clear and readable to ensure all event details are easy to understand.

  2. Color Scheme & Layout

    • I chose a deep blue background to provide contrast and a sense of calm.
    • White text stands out against the dark background for readability.
    • The silhouette of an acro yoga pose adds movement and makes the design visually compelling.

  3. Expressive Type & Elements

    • Instead of standard typography, I experimented with positioning and layering to make the text feel integrated with the image.
    • The addition of star elements gives a fun and playful touch, reinforcing the dynamic nature of acro yoga.

Challenges & Takeaways

One of the biggest challenges was balancing the expressive typography while keeping the flyer informative and readable. I had to adjust font sizes, spacing, and alignment to ensure all elements worked together harmoniously.

This project helped me improve my typographic hierarchy, visual balance, and event promotion design skills. I also reinforced the importance of using color and imagery strategically to communicate a theme.

Final Thoughts

The final flyer effectively reflects the movement, energy, and trust inherent in acro yoga. If I had more time, I would explore adding subtle motion blur effects or text distortions to enhance the sense of fluidity.

I look forward to refining my event branding skills and exploring more ways to integrate typography with motion-based design in future projects!

Creating Marketing Personas for Club Pilates: A Peek into My Assignment

  Overview When it comes to effective marketing, understanding your audience is everything. As part of my social media and digital marketing class, I was tasked with creating four marketing personas for Club Pilates. These personas help bring the target audience to life by highlighting their motivations, challenges, and preferences. Here’s an overview of my assignment and the personas I developed. Why Marketing Personas Matter Marketing personas are fictional yet research-based profiles that represent segments of a company’s target audience. By humanizing data, businesses can tailor their messaging, products, and services to meet the specific needs of their customers. For Club Pilates, this means reaching diverse individuals seeking fitness and wellness solutions in a way that resonates with them. Meet the Personas 1.

Where Rhythm Meets Flavor: A Night at Kaya’s Table

Where Rhythm Meets Flavor: A Night at Kaya’s Table  The first thing you notice when you step into Kaya’s Table is the scent—thick, warm, and inviting. The air hums with slow-roasted jerk spices, caramelized plantains, and the rich, buttery scent of cornbread just out of the oven. There’s a hint of coconut and something smoky, maybe a whisper of charcoal-grilled seafood kissed by the sea breeze. The aroma alone could make a full man hungry.   It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust to the lighting—soft golden hues cast from Moroccan-style lanterns that sway just slightly with the rhythm of the bass. Deep indigo and emerald walls, painted with sweeping murals of Black and Caribbean folklore, seem to shift in the flickering light. A large, open hearth near the back of the room cradles a cast-iron pot bubbling with something rich and peppery, its thick, slow-moving surface promising comfort in every spoonful.   And the music—*lawd*, the music. A live band sets up in the cor...

Hanging by Hooks: My First Encounter with Body Suspension

  Hanging by Hooks: My First Encounter with Body Suspension Last weekend, I attended a tattoo convention expecting the usual vibrant mix of inked masterpieces, creative booths, and buzzing machines. What I didn’t anticipate was witnessing a performance that would profoundly challenge and inspire me: a body suspension demonstration. In the middle of the room, a petite woman was being suspended by eight hooks, all carefully placed in her abdomen. The hooks pierced her skin in a line down the front of her torso, pulling her body taut as she hovered horizontally above the ground. The sight was both unsettling and mesmerizing—a delicate balance of vulnerability and strength. At first, it was hard to process. The idea of skin bearing such weight felt incomprehensible, especially from such a tender and exposed area of the body. But as I watched, my discomfort gave way to awe. Her face was calm, almost serene, as though she had transcended the physicality of the moment. The crowd was silen...
