Posters communicate their message and show their narrative story. They are defined as a painting or an illustration art from the 19th and 20th centuries that it remains in our culture as a historical artifact. In the UDA’s prestigious annual design competition, all participants will show their best posters, and UDA will preserve their posters as historical artifacts.
The 2022 UDA Poster Competition received numerous poster entries from graphic designers and students around the world. All participants submitted their best Commercial Posters for clients, Experimental Posters for design exploration, and Environmental Awareness Posters for the earth.
The Honorary Jurors committed to evaluating the submissions carefully and provided their valuable professional service to the competition. The Jury confirmed award winning entries from the United States, Mexico, China, Korea, Taiwan, Poland, Hungary, and Cyprus.

Work Description:
The collateral campaign of “Year of The Tiger 2022” was designed for the Office of International Admissions & Student Services (IASS) of The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley for IASS’s Lunar New Year 2022 event. The collateral campaign includes an event logo/mascot design, a gift bag design, a T-shirt design, a poster design, an instagram post design, and a couple of web banner designs for IASS official website and Facebook page.
In China, the Tiger is considered the king of all beasts as it symbolises power and a great deal of nerve. It is also a symbol of luck considered to be an embodiment of positive energy. Inspired by one of the Chinese traditional folk art forms, Cloth Tiger, I created a logo and tiger mascot for the event and converted the mascot illustration to two three-dimensional tigers by applying one of the 3D features of Adobe Illustrator. The concept of the design is hoping and seeking a peaceful and fortunate new year to the world.
