Work on Lace

This week I worked on the creation of two posters. I had to do some extensive Photoshop work to combine different photographs recreating the mood of the play. I had to find the perfect font to use for a 40s play. I had to overcome a few aesthetic challenges, arranging al the mandatory elements in harmony without overloading the poster.

However, my biggest challenge was to create in Photoshop a smiling skull out of lace and integrate that in the original image.

First Drafts of the Poster

This week I had a meeting with Mrs. Carla Webbles and Mr. Ed Muth where I presented several sketches of different ideas for the poster. Prior to that I had to read the play and do a massive Internet research of the artwork already presented for that play. Since it is a very successful play from 1940, I found 68 original posters for it. I had to come up with ideas that are different from anything already created.

After I presented my sketches, we decided what direction to go. I did two big photoshoots to crate the base for the poster.

In the mean time, I keep going to the rehearsals and taking pictures for "The Making Of" the play.

My First Meeting

This week I had my first meeting with Mrs. Carla Webbles and Mr. Ed Muth.

We talked about the requirements of my internship, of dead lines and decided on the way to proceed with the creation of the poster for the play. The first stage will be a huge research in order to get the feel for a 40s play, 40s movie poster, 40s typography, imagery, etc.

I also started taking pictures of the rehearsals.

It appears the I will have an extra project to work on - the creation of the logo for 30th Anniversary of the Fine Arts Department.
