The Positive Posters 2010 brief is out. This year’s theme is “A Glass Half Full” – keeping in full with the tradition of positivity that both Simon and Nathan so aptly conveyed in this month’s interview with them, Positive People. Check the info after the break and get scribbling.

The brief can be found here: http://positive-posters.com/the-brief/ or you can simply read below for a copy of the relevant information.

“We would like you to design a poster in response to this that will have a positive influence on the viewer. The theme can be interpreted anyway you see fit. Judges will be looking for original concepts, lateral thinking and inspired designs. The poster will be up in Melbourne streets, so keep in mind it should also standout against the city landscape.”
