Theatre Season Poster Designs
Illustration / Print Design
I created illustrations and artwork for the WVU School of Theatre & Dance's 2017-18 main-stage season. I selected a color palette that could work with the storyline of each performance individually and give the entire season a cohesive feel.
Before starting the series, I spoke to each performance's director and researched the plot line of each play. I used the feedback from the director to guide me and help determine the proper feel that each poster should evoke, using key elements from each storyline. I brainstormed concepts for each poster using word association exercises and loose sketches.
I then created drafts of each poster and shared those with the director for approval. I used hand-drawn elements and lettering combined with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator techniques to create each final piece.
