HALLOWEEN PARTY FLYER
Create a flyer for a horror-themed Halloween party, which includes a costumed hot dog eating content. It should be bold, unique, fun, and stylish. It should appeal to horror fans but still be broad enough to attract a wide audience. Ideally, it will have a bit of a retro feel and play up the campy, unusual, fun aspect of the hot dog eating contest while still maintaining the Halloween aesthetic.
Thank you @kellyemintzer on Instagram for the wickedly fun prompt.

Alien Day is a day to celebrate the fantastic world of the Alien(s) franchise, occurring on 4/26 every year — inspired by LV-426, the name of the moon where the Xenomorphs are discovered in the 1979 film by Ridley Scott.

COFFEE SHOP LOGO
Nestled in the heart of the campus, Philosopher's Cafe is more than just a coffee shop—it's a sanctuary for the intellectually curious and creatively inclined. It hosts regular events, including philosophy debates, poetry readings, and art exhibitions, making it a dynamic space where the campus community comes together to share ideas and inspiration.
The menu at Philosopher's Cafe is as inventive as it is delightful, with each offering named after a philosophical concept, famous thinker, or groundbreaking idea. The "Socratic Espresso" is a bold, questioning shot of coffee, challenging you to examine your day as Socrates examined life. The "Camus Croissant" embraces the absurd, pairing unexpected flavors in a deliciously existential pastry. Or try our signature special, the "Nietzsche Nitro," a coffee so strong it proclaims, "What does not kill me, makes me stronger."
