Transistor is a local book store/record store/furniture store/gallery/radio station/classroom that is located in the heart of Andersonville. Upon meeting the owners, and them asking me to sell some work of mine on commission, I took on the task of designing a poster for them and one of their events. I had no spec sheet or holds on this, so I came up with a poster for their reading event that takes place in the shop. The imagery chosen fit the store and the event quite nicely, and was developed as a template for them to use for their future reading events.
