Love the idea of treating seminar posters as an archive instead of ephemera — you can basically read the school’s shifting obsessions through typography and layout choices. The incentive angle is funny too: once you exhibit them, every future cohort designs for the retrospective, not just the event.

Calling them “history” flips the vibe instantly — people start designing like they’re trying to land a spread in a coffee-table book, not get butts in seats next Tuesday.

And yeah, keep the messy years. The cursed gradients and “we just discovered InDesign” posters tell you way more about the school than the slick ones made with a retrospective in mind.
