Project 2 – Outline
This project involves producing 2 compositions for a theatrical play. Each composition is a specific variation on a design theme. One is grid-based, another is radial or organic. Study variations of each in existing play posters. Choose one theatrical play that has been produced, to focus on for your assignment. You are to develop original compositions using each of the two design themes. Each variation must have the an Illustration of some kind involved. That illustration can be raster or vector. The illustration should be a metaphor or symbol from the play, not simply a scene from the play.
Each poster includes the title (largest type), the production company, the dates, times and place. You can also include actors or the director for additional type. Each poster is 11 X 17 and assembled in Illustrator. The art work can be from Photoshop or Illustrator.
Project 2/Pinterest Assignment – Create a board for poster design on Pinterest. Collect poster designs that interest you. You may even collect designs from the play you are doing. Study design variation in particular. Do three drawings of different comps in pencil on paper or digital for your types of design.
