Leo Lionni
University of Cincinnati
1979
11” x 34”

A poster for a weeklong student seminar and a public presentation given by Leo Lionni, renowned graphic designer, artist and author of numerous children’s books.

One of Lionni’s best known characters is a mischievous field mouse named Fredrick.

Designed as a multi-purpose piece, some posters were scored and folded for mailing. An 8.5” x 11.25” mailer was fashioned by horizontally scoring the poster and folding it into thirds. After Lionni’s presentation, unsent posters were handed out to the attendees wanting a signed poster.
