job brief: There are usually around 8 full productions in the festival. But there is no attempt to make the poster art reflect these specific plays. Instead, the poster image usually has to do more generically with writers, the writer’s imagination, the tools they use or "words" themselves. Images of the human mind as well as images connected to the work of playwrights today have been used. Also seen have been images that create a feeling of the energy, impact and humanity of the stage or a live theatrical performance.
legacy: Brian Cronin, Chip Kidd, Wiktor Sadowski (3rd and 6th images), Rafal Oblinski, Stasys Eidrigevicius. (this is a partial sampler of my top favorites).
failed attempts: 'Fear' as an overall theme / a mixer of genres
new idea- have the paper coming out of the typewriter BE a slit in the back-stage curtain through which we see the stage:
execution:
awesome idea man! I like in the sketch you can see the fold of the curtain more but still the end product is great!
ReplyDeleteThe final very graphic execution is wonderful. The color scheme of black, red and white (ok, brown as well), always works but I find it's the composition that really makes this stand out. ^_^
ReplyDeleteIn a word, Beautiful. I love how minimal the linework is and how much form that creates, even with the simple solid colours. I think the cat is a secret favourite part for me, the taper and the shape over the ear and the arch of the back. Any chance this is going to appear on Monomyth?
ReplyDeleteReally nice execution. It's great to see illustration and type working so well together (which it does in a lot of your work ).
ReplyDeleteGeo.
that's a beautifully execution of a very clever concept.
ReplyDeletewow
Wow, that's both clever and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure it matters, but if I hadn't read the thing about the paper I'm not sure I would have interpreted the slit as such.
None the less. This is really, really cool. You're such a master of solid blacks. I'm envious.
Amazing work you have here.
ReplyDeleteA big fan.
Splendid idea and execution.
ReplyDeleteterrific execution!
