Attention Grabbing Cook’s poster for her recital catches the eyes of many as they walk through the halls. Cook used canva, a graphic design platform, to make a striking poster that will spread the word of her upcoming recital. “My whole color scheme is purple, that’s what we’ll be wearing. Like purple dresses and suits. I don’t know, I just felt like purple spoke to me over the last year, and that’s what I wanted to design the posters around,” Cook says.
