Theatre Posters.

My current University project is to design a set of four posters advertising Theatre Productions.

The four plays I will be designing for are

"They Shoot Horses, Don't They?"

"The Naked Civil Servant."

"Under Milk Wood "

"Talking Heads"

i chose to design for a new professional production company that will be based at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle, they are largely focussed on the work of twentieth-century playwrights. Miller, Pinter, Steinbeck, Stoppard, etc.

at the moment, as usual these days i am waaaay behind in terms of my work output, i feel i have more or less come to a strong solution to "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?".

abstract fluid shapes quashed together all facing in the same direction. culminating in the face of a horse. this is trying to represent the bitter struggle the contestants have to go through in the competition.

the hand making the shape of the "gun" again i was worried about making the poster too literal.
