postering: part one

This is my second year designing posters for Clemson University's performing arts department. The 2011-2012 season is an especially good one with shows ranging from a classic musical comedy (below) to an austere staging of absurdist theater.

For Guys and Dolls, I had the challenge of presenting a show that has a very iconic look in a fresh way. The director suggested reading some of Damon Runyon's work as the plot of G&D was compiled from several of his short stories. The unique style of Runyon's writing along with the time period led me to the idea of propaganda posters showcasing the two main story lines competing for audience attention next to each other.
