The St. John Catholic Newman Center had formerly hosted a yearly art festival and decided to resurrect the festival for 2012, showcasing Marian-centric works of art in any medium. The committee in charge of planning the festival required designs for a flyer, a postcard, and a newspaper ad.
I wanted the central imagery of the ads to be a Marian work of art in and of itself, in order to better articulate the theme of the festival and convey that any medium, any style, any approach, whether contemporary or modern, was encouraged. So I did a mash-up of Lippi's Madonna and some of Alphonse Mucha's floral motifs to illustrate that.
