Songs for a New World
Designing for Songs for a New World started with a simple direction: “Make it spacey.” I saw this as an opportunity to explore the deeper themes of the show. After immersing myself in the script and watching a production, I focused on the central idea of individuals standing on the edge of significant change. Capturing this concept in a single image was challenging, but I landed on the idea of a glowing door—a visual metaphor for the unknown future. The intense brightness of the door symbolizes the uncertainty of what lies ahead, creating a sense of anticipation and possibility.
To reflect the space theme, I placed the glowing door in a cosmic landscape, drawing inspiration from the director’s thoughts on space as a new frontier. Using a combination of public-domain images, gradients, and abstract visuals, I crafted a design that evokes both mystery and excitement. The final poster captures the moment before transformation, inviting the audience to join the characters in embracing the journey toward change.
Acting Up at Brunch
This poster was designed for an acting workshop/brunch hosted by Gem Rock, an entertainment company. I aimed to capture the lighthearted spirit of the event with a fun and energetic feel.
For the design, I envisioned a playful vintage image of actors with a comedic touch, paired with big, bold text to convey high energy. After an extensive search, I discovered the perfect featured picture through the Creative Commons 2.0 License from the Alexandria Theater.
When creating one-off pieces like this, I often begin with a deep dive into Creative Commons sources or various national archives. These platforms offer incredible inspiration and assets; it just requires some hunting to find the gems!
