Contact: Jordan Jessamy, OIDE Graduate Fellow ([email protected]) Image Description: Men of Color Initiative Program Flyer: A dark red hazy circle, like a desert sun, radiates a progressively fading color scheme of dark red, to orange, and eventually white. In the center of this circle lies the title in large but finely written letters. The rest of the test is smaller and simpler, located away from the center, where the colors are less intense. Half the normal text is black, except for the text closest to the bottom of the page which lies in the whitest section of the poster. This text, starting with "Thurs Feb...." is the same dark red as the circle, and stands out against pinkish-white hues.
