Update: "Brigadoon"


For this poster I have decided to do an entire rewrite. The original poster was rushed as it was nearing the end of the previous semester. In retrospect, the previous iteration was more or less a comp. version as it also very simple in design.

With this new iteration, the shadows been removed along with the fake-looking clouds. In their place, I decided to add a simple image of some bagpipes with the potential of a passport or map on the bottom front area of the bagpipes. While this design loses the romantic tone present in the original, it makes up for it in the mysteriousness of the items on the page.

The font was another major aspect that needed to changed. If one were to look closely at the final
rendition of the previous poster, each used the same font. This is something I've since strived to change as each poster hopefully will not interfere with the original design.

Jerre has not looked at this poster as of yet.

Update: "A Christmas Carol"


The original rendition of this poster left out any and all Christmas like imagery in hopes of avoiding an overtly Christmas theme. With the title "A Christmas Carol" this proved to be difficult. Originally wanting to convey a sense of the unknown I seemed to have forgotten the tone of the play itself.

Discussing this with Jerre, he agreed with the majority of my concerns. After showing him this revised sketch, he apparently loved the idea of the snow being on the floor. Lately I've been thinking about keeping the hardwood floor (?) a tone of ice blue. This would keep in line with the wintry setting and the ice skating scene in the story. As far as font and placement are concerned I'm going with the same placement all around in keeping with the placement of the previous poster.

The other idea Jerre suggested was to incorporate the shadow from the previous poster. this might be a good idea giving the sense of mystery that I originally desired.

More to come...
