The 2006 luau's theme was "Kahea ka moku'aina mai ia'u." Undoubtedly this is both difficult to pronounce and understand for those unfamiliar with the Hawaiian language. Thereupon, in designing the poster I featured the word "luau", a term generally understood by most, prominently to communicate the event. The imagery conveys things commonly associated with the Hawaiian islands: a hula dancer and a likeness of world-famous surfer Eddie Aikau.
