Paid poster design opportunity ($150)

Peace College has partnered with Raleigh Wake Human Resource Management Association (RWHRMA) to provide their members discounts on our adult continuing education courses.

The Peace College Adult HR program would love a student to develop a poster highlighting the benefits of joining RWHRMA which would also prominently list Peace College as sponsor of the poster. This poster would be displayed at their monthly meetings on an easel and anywhere else where they wanted to recruit new members (such as the statewide conference once per year).

They are willing to pay a graphic design student an honorarium of $150 to work on the poster and have asked interested students to let me know. Based on the amount of interest, you may need to show a few samples of your design work to help them decide on the best fit for the project. Sound like something you might be interested in? Email me and I'll fill you in on the details.
