BB&T Charleston Food + Wine Festival And Charleston Magazine Unveil Winning Poster Design For 2008 Event
For Immediate Release, December 2007 http://www.charlestonfoodandwine.com
The BB&T Charleston Food + Wine Festival and Charleston magazine are excited to announce that Jason Fletcher has been selected as the winner of the Official Poster Competition for the event. Jason Fletcher of Charleston is a graphic artist at The Post and Courier. Fletcher will receive a $1,000 check for his winning design, and his work will be featured on retail items and storefront windows across the city. He will also receive recognition in the December issue of Charleston magazine.
With more than 40 entries, Jason’s design was selected for its articulation of the festival concept, gourmand food and wine. “I wanted to create something that visually combined food and wine in a simple way, but still had a little depth to it. Something that would be easy, interesting and offer an immediate read,” said Fletcher when asked about his design concept.
To celebrate the winning poster, a special event was held at The Art Institute of Charleston on November 29 to unveil the art. Guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres from The New Angelfish Redo, Iverson Catering, Cru Catering, Good Food Catering and JBC Catering, while viewing the winning design and honorable mentions. The event was sponsored by JMC Charleston, All Occasions, and Charleston magazine. Guest contributions were collected for the MUSC Diabetes Program.
