Created a poster series for the 40th Anniversary Oscar event, organized by the renowned non-profit Academy of Friends. This high-profile Academy Awards Night Charity Gala, the organization’s largest annual fundraiser, supports HIV/AIDS organizations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. For the 2020 gala, themed Ruby Red, I took on the task of designing the campaign’s central artwork to promote the event.

​

As the sole designer, I illustrated and photo-composited the posters, which were prominently displayed across San Francisco on billboards, electronic kiosks, bus shelters, and social media platforms. The design celebrated diversity by blending sensuality, confidence, and opulence, featuring carefully crafted poses, intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and refined typography. These elements embodied the event’s inclusive mission to welcome and honor individuals from all backgrounds.

The poster series contributed to a sold-out event with over 350 attendees, marking a significant achievement for the campaign.
