Poster design6 Core Requirements

Task 1: BYTE Freshers Poster

Create the first impression of BYTE for incoming MAIT freshers. Design a freshers-facing promotional poster introducing BYTE as a technical society and making a first-year student want to learn more and join.

Core Requirements

  • At a glance, communicate who BYTE is, what it does, what it has done, what a fresher can gain, and how to join.
  • Use the supplied BYTE logo, official information, selected past-event names and photographs, WhatsApp community QR code, and official social handles/contact information as your primary source material.
  • Do not fabricate events, achievements, statistics, testimonials, or other factual claims. Keep any additional copy consistent with the content pack.
  • Create a modern, youthful, technically relevant, energetic, professional, cohesive design. Prioritise communication and hierarchy instead of forcing every detail onto the poster.
  • Primary format: 1080 × 1350 px (4:5 portrait), suitable for Instagram and digital campus promotion. Keep it readable on mobile and make the QR code visible and scannable.
  • Use high-resolution imagery, avoid unnecessary compression, use the BYTE logo correctly, and keep the final layout clean and professionally aligned.

Official content pack

The pack includes the BYTE logo, official information about BYTE and its purpose, selected past-event details and photos, the official WhatsApp community QR code, and official social/contact information where applicable.

Creative freedom and restrictions

  • You may create original graphic elements, illustrations, textures, compositions, typography treatments, and image treatments.
  • Do not replace the supplied event photographs with AI-generated representations, and do not use a pre-made template as the primary design.
Merch concept3 Core Requirements

Task 2: BYTE T shirt Merchandise

Design an original T-shirt merchandise concept for BYTE MAIT that represents a tech, coding, and creative community. Make it modern, youthful, tech-inspired, visually strong, and suitable for actual college merchandise.

Core Requirements

  • Create a front and/or back T-shirt design. You may experiment with typography, illustrations, coding/tech elements, abstract graphics, patterns, symbols, and short creative phrases.
  • Use the BYTE Society logo as the primary brand reference. The design should feel like BYTE even without relying heavily on the logo.
  • Last year’s BYTE merchandise is for reference only. Do not copy it; make your concept, graphics, typography, and composition original.
