A4 Poster for Edinburgh Fringe Talk

I need a striking A4-style poster to promote my “TED-type” educational talk at the Edinburgh Fringe 2026. The design should instantly signal that the audience will walk away with fresh, actionable knowledge while still feeling the buzz of a festival event.

Artwork requirements
• 210 mm × 197 mm finished size
• Print-ready PDF as the final file (CMYK, 300 dpi, 3 mm bleed)
• Delivery deadline: Monday, 22 June 2026

Creative direction
I’m wide open to your colour palette, typography and layout ideas—there’s no pre-set brand guide to follow—so feel free to pitch bold or minimalist concepts as you see fit. Just keep the overall tone clearly educational rather than purely entertaining or motivational, and let “new knowledge” shine through in the visual hierarchy.

Assets & copy
I have attached the assets to be incorporated into the poster. Please also provide the editable source file so I can create future variations.

Acceptance criteria
– PDF meets the size specs and passes a pre-press check
– Visual style aligns with the educational theme and highlights the promise of new knowledge
– All supplied assets are used correctly and legibly

I look forward to seeing your concept ideas and making this poster impossible to miss on the Royal Mile.
